Rock Cakes from Rosmerta's Recipe

I've brought this recipe from Rosmerta (not Hagrid). Makes 12 Large or 16 Medium Rock Cakes

Ingredients:

• 4 cups self-raising flour
• 1 cup (2 sticks) real butter chilled and cubed
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 2 tsp pumpkin spice mix
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup dried raisins
• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• sugar cinnamon mix for sprinkling

Directions:

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400F.

Step 2: Grease a large cooking sheet.

Step 3: Sift the flour, salt and mixed spice together in a medium bowl. Cut the butter into the flour until it has the consistency of large crumbs.

Step 4: Stir in the sugar and dried fruit. In a separate bowl whisk the egg and milk together.

Step 5: Pour the egg mixture over the flour mixture . Using a large spoon, blend the mixtures together to form a rough dough. To avoid "Hagrids Rock Cakes" do not to over mix, it will make rock cakes hard. just mix it until the flour is mixed in.

Step 6: Using the spoon, dollop portions of dough onto cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Don't smooth them out--they should be like a drop biscuit.

Step 7: Sprinkle each mound generously with cinnamon sugar mixture.

Step 8: Bake for 12-15 min. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Eat within two days.

This is how the cake should look like-
