Coconut rock buns, what can I say? They remind me of the scones that we use to make in high school only these taste better and are much more tender. The ones we use to make were hard as rocks. These have a super crunchy hard exterior with a surprisingly light and chewy interior and they’re heavily flavored with nutmeg, grated orange and vanilla.
My son loves raisins so it’s no surprise that he always fights with me over these buns. I couldn’t even take pictures, the first time around; I doubled the recipe so I could have enough for the photo shoot.
Coconut rock buns also known as rock cakes are enjoyed in Caribbean particular in Jamaica, Guyana and Trinidad. Super easy to make, they come together in no time and lends itself to countless variations with dried fruit and flavor.
They are a perfect snack. You may serve them for breakfast with milk or they’re great on their own.
