CSuper easy and crunchy hard exterior buns with a surprisingly light and chewy interior. Best served as snacks or breakfast with warm coffee or hot cocoa!

Coconut Rock Buns are like tea scones of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, minus the eggs. And these buns are just as easy to put together as the scones. They are called rock buns because of the rough texture. As they bake the rough edges get darker brown and they look really rustic!

Combine the dry ingredients and cut in the butter till the flour is coarse in texture. Add the raisins and the liquid ingredients. Mix to form a dough. Just scoop the dough on the baking tray and bake till golden. Do not shape the dough as you want those knobbly, rough edges so that they get extra bronzed in the oven.

Coconut Rock Buns also known as rock cakes are enjoyed in Caribbean. Super easy to make, they come together in no time and lends itself to countless variations with dried fruit and flavour.
