Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• salt
• 0.25 cup milk
• 0.75 cup white sugar
• 0.5 cup raisins
• 0.75 cup butter

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter by rubbing the mixture between your fingers until the mixture is fine and crumbly; stir in the raisins. In a small bowl, mix together the egg and milk; mix with dry ingredients to form a soft dough.

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch in thickness. Dip cutter into flour, and stamp out scones. You may need to re roll the dough to get 12.

Step 3

Heat dry non-stick griddle over medium heat. Cook each side of the scone until slightly raised and golden brown in color. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
