Scotch Scones
Description
These are slightly sweeter and flatter than most scones. Easy to prepare and cooked on a griddle. These are great fun for kids to help make, as you can use their favorite cookie cutters if you prefer.
Ingredients
•
2 cups all-purpose flour
•
3/4 cup white sugar
•
1 tablespoon baking powder
•
salt
•
3/4 cup butter
•
1/2 cup raisins
•
1 egg
•
1/4 cup milk
Directions
1
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter by rubbing the mixture between your fingers until the mixture is fine and crumbly; stir in the raisins. In a small bowl, mix together the egg and milk; mix with dry ingredients to form a soft dough.
2
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch in thickness. Dip cutter into flour, and stamp out scones. You may need to re roll the dough to get 12.
3
Heat dry non-stick griddle over medium heat. Cook each side of the scone until slightly raised and golden brown in color. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
