Classic Rock Cakes

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. 2
   Add flour and baking powder to a medium mixing bowl. Add butter (if it's cold, chop into pieces first) and rub it into the flour with your fingers until the mixture becomes crumbly and the butter is fully incorporated.
3. 3
   Add sugar and raisins (or chocolate) to flour/butter mixture and mix well. Add egg and milk and mix well.
4. 4
   Distribute globs of dough evenly into a 12-count standard size muffin tin. Don't smooth the tops! Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the tops begin to lightly brown.
5. 5
   Cool in pan for a few minutes, then tap pan and turn over to release rock cakes. Cool before eating and store in an air-tight container for several days.
