Old-Fashioned Raisin Scones

Old-Fashioned Breads

Prep time:

20 minutes

Cooking time:

15 minutes

“Raisins purchased in canisters stay fresher and softer longer than traditional boxed raisins. Though canisters may cost more, you save in the long run because the raisins are less likely to dry out.”

Ingredients

Serves 10

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter or margarine
1/3 cup raisins
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons milk

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 425F. Grease a baking sheet. Combine flour, sugar, salt and baking powder in a large bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2
Add raisins to flour mixture; mix well. Add egg and milk; stir with a fork until mixture forms a soft dough.
3
Pat dough into a circle about 1/2 inch thick, adding flour if necessary to prevent sticking.
4
Cut dough into rounds with a floured 2-inch biscuit cutter. Arrange scones on prepared baking sheet. Bake until tops are golden, about 15 minutes. Let scones cool 1 minute. Remove from sheet.
