Rock cakes are a British bake, somewhere between a scone and a biscuit, known for their rustic, craggy appearance. They're built from a simple dough of flour, sugar, and butter, studded with dried fruit, then bound with egg and milk. The mixture comes together quickly, forming a thick, lumpy dough that bakes into golden-brown, lightly sweetened treats. They're ready in about half an hour, making them a quick option for an afternoon tea.
