Dessert: Raisin Scones

Servings: 12 scones

Preparation time: 20-25 minutes

Cooking time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

These are just like the scones granny made but cut into smaller wedges.

  • ½ cup milk (preferably canned evaporated milk)  
  • 1 egg 
  • 1 ½ cups flour 
  • ¼ cup sugar 
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder 
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon 
  • ½ cup raisins 
  • ½ cup cold butter, grated using a cheese grater
  • 1 ½ cups plain oats 
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (for the top of the scones)

Directions for Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a baking sheet.
  2. In a medium-size bowl, stir in the egg and milk.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and raisins.
  4. Into that same large bowl, add the grated butter and most of the egg/milk mixture. Save a little bit of the egg/milk mixture to brush the top of the scones.
  5. Stir everything together with a large spoon until it forms a dough ball.
  6. Place the dough ball onto the baking sheet.
  7. Pat the dough ball down to spread the mixture into an 8-to-10-inch circle (like the size of a small pizza).
  8. Cut into 12 small wedges but do not separate the wedges.
  9. Brush the top with reserved egg/milk mixture, then sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar.
  10. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned and firm to touch.
  11. Cool for 10 minutes, then slice again to separate the 12 wedges. Enjoy!
