MistyHagrid's rock cakes might usually turn out to be more rock than cake, but with this recipe, you can make your own batch that won't break your teeth!

- 4 cups self-rising flour
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup butter cubed, chilled

- 1/2 cup milk
- cinnamon sugar mix (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment.

- Stir in the sugar and dried fruit.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and milk together.
- Pour egg mixture over flour mixture. Using a large spoon, mix together just until everything is incorporated.

- Sprinkle each mound generously with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Bake 12–15 minutes.
