AMERICAN RAISIN SCONES
Recipe by: THE FRUGAL GOURMET
Serving Size: 12
Category: Scones
Ingredients:
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups Flour
1/2 teaspoon Salt
3 teaspoons Baking powder
2 tablespoons Sugar
1/4 cup Cold butter
1/2 cup Raisins *
1/2 cup Half and half or cream
1 Egg -- beaten
Preparation:
* Note: Soak raisins in hot water for 1/2 hour. Drain.
Sift the dry ingredients together. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients, using a pastry
blender. Add the drained raisins to the flour mixture. Mix the half-and-half with the
beaten egg and stir into the flour mixture. Use a fork and do not over mix. It should
take only a few turns to get dough.
Divide the dough into three balls and pat each out into a 1/2-inch-thick circle. Cut each
into four triangular scones. Bake on an ungreased baking sheet at 450 degrees for
about 12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with butter and raspberry jam. Makes
12 scones.
