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!

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (215°C).
  2. Line cookie sheets with silicone baking sheets or parchment paper.
  3. Sift the flour, baking powder (and mixed spice, if using) and set aside.
  4. 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.
  5. Mix just until combined. Do not over mix.
  6. With two forks, make "rock-like" cookies on the tray about 2" apart. They should not be smooth.
  7. Sprinkle with a little sugar and bake in the upper part of the oven for about 12 minutes. (It could range from 10 to 15 minutes, depending on your oven.)
  8. Remove from tray and place on cooling rack. When cool, enjoy the fruits of your labor.
