Homemade Scones


Homemade Scones

  • 1 3/4 cup flour
  • 3 Tbsp sugar
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup butter, room temperature
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup raisins, cranraisins,or currents
  • 4 to 6 Tbsp 1/2 & 1/2 or milk
  • 1 egg, beaten

Preheat oven to 400°.  In a large bowl mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.  Cut the butter into the mixture until it is fine crumbs.  Stir in 1 egg and mix thoroughly.  Add raisins and mix.  Add milk and mix, add until dough leaves the sides of the bowl.  

Prepare a surface with lightly flouring the surface.  Knead dough about 10 times on surface.  Roll out dough to an inch high thickness.  Cut out pieces using a cookie cutter or glass.  Place them on a uncreased cookie sheet.  Brush the last egg over the tops of the pieces so they will brown.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.  

Serve with Butter or Raspberry Dip
