Rock buns, also known as rock cakes, are crumbly, slightly sweet baked treats originating from British cuisine. Typically made with flour, sugar, butter or margarine, eggs, and a small amount of milk, they often include dried fruits like currants, raisins, or sultanas for added texture and flavor. Spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg may enhance the taste. Their uneven, rugged appearance gives them the "rock" name. Rock buns are smaller and less sugary than traditional cakes, making them a slightly lighter option for a snack. They do contain butter and sugar, so moderation is key. The addition of dried fruits provides fiber and natural sweetness, though the overall nutritional profile leans more toward indulgence than healthfulness. Easy and quick to prepare, rock buns are a nostalgic favorite often enjoyed with tea, embodying the simple, hearty baking traditions of British home cooking.
