Rock Cakes
Report
These Rock Cakes are much better than Hagrid's which are similar in texture to actual rocks. Harry Potter would definitely approve of these raisin-filled drop biscuits.

Ingredients
- 2 cups (250 grams) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tick (4 ounces / 113 grams) cold unsalted butter, cut into chunks
- 1 large egg
- ⅓ cup milk
- 1 cup (150 grams) raisins
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large mixing bowl. With your fingertips, rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture is crumbly has the consistency of wet sand.
- Beat together the egg and the milk, then pour it into the flour-butter mixture. Stir it together using a spatula to form a stiff dough (you can use your hands too). Fold in the raisins.
- Drop dough by rounded spoonfuls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet, dividing the dough evenly into 12 mounds.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the bottoms are golden, rotating the pan partway through baking. Cool before serving.
Notes
- For rock-hard rock cakes like Hagrid’s, just bake them for too long and eat them a week later at your own risk!
- These are best the day they are made (crusty edges, soft interior), but still very good for several days afterward.
- This recipe uses kosher salt (aka cooking salt, kitchen salt, coarse salt outside of the US). If you are using table salt, definitely scale down the salt as that is a saltier type of salt! The type of salt will make a big difference in how salty your food tastes, so keep that in mind.
