Recipe By : Granny's Kitchen, St. Patrick's Rock, Cashel, County Tipperary, Ireland
Scone Preparation:
Mix flour and oleo together with your fingers until the mixture is fine; add sugar, raisins and baking powder. Beat eggs and add. Pour in enough milk to make mixture into a sticky dough (not too wet). Lift out onto a floured board and flatten out to 1-1/2" in thickness and cut out scones with a biscuit cutter. Place 6 on a greased baking sheet and brush tops with a little beaten egg (this helps them to brown). Bake 15 minutes in preheated 400° F oven.
