Raisin Scones recipe

This is perhaps one of the most traditional scone flavours. Try these with clotted cream and jam.

Ingredients:

225g plain flour
115g raisins
85g caster sugar
55g butter
150ml milk
1 tsp. baking powder

Method of Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 180C and grease and line a baking tray.
Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl.
Stir in the caster sugar.
Rub the butter into the mixture until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Pour the milk into the mixture, stirring until the dough just comes together.
Fold in the raisins until completely mixed together.
Roll the dough out or pat the dough down until it is 2-3cm thick. Cut the dough into scones and then place the scones onto the baking tray.
Bake the scones for 15 minutes or until risen and golden.

This recipe makes 6 large scones and 12 small scones. Try baking the scones with sultanas or dried cherries if you haven’t got any raisins for a different flavour.

Very sweet, perhaps less sugar.

Review by Ian Bazely on 14th October 2011:

Fantastic recipe. I am by no means a cook but I do enjoy making a few goodies especially scones. This is the best recipe I have come across especially when adding my secret ingredient, no i am not going to tell you- yet.
