Rock Cakes from Harry Potter have a bad reputation. Hagrid made them and they were just like rocks, however, proper rock cakes or rock buns are nothing but soft and delicious!

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¾ stick butter
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • ½ cup currants or golden raisins (Sultanas)

  • ⅛ tsp mixed spice

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (215°C).
  • Line cookie sheets with silicone baking sheets or parchment paper.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder (and mixed spice, if using) and set aside.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until creamy and smooth. Add the egg. Next, mix in the sifted flour and milk. As it comes together, add the dried fruit.
  • Mix just until combined. Do not over mix.
  • With two forks, make "rock-like" cookies on the tray about 2" apart. They should not be smooth.
