  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 scones 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup raisins or currants
  • 1 egg, for wash
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Gather all your ingredients for the scones.
  2. Combine milk and raisins (or currants) in a bowl and let them soak briefly.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk mixture until just combined.
  4. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut out scones using biscuit cutters.
  5. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place scones on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with egg wash, and bake for 15-20 minutes until lightly browned.

Notes

  • Enjoy fresh from the oven for the best flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • For variation, substitute raisins with chocolate chips or leave them out completely.
  • Add lemon zest or spices like nutmeg for an unexpected flavor twist.
