Rosie Cotton's Raisin Scones


4 cups all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons sugar
4 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons cold butter
2 eggs, room temperature
3/4 cup milk, plus 2 tablespoons.
1 1/2 cups raisins (you can use other berries or fruits in this recipe)

  • In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a bowl, whisk eggs and 3/4 cup milk; add to dry ingredients just until moistened.
  • Turn onto a lightly floured surface; gently knead in the raisins.
  • Divide the dough in half. Pat each portion into an 8-in. circle; cut each into 8 wedges. Place on greased baking sheets. Brush with remaining milk. Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes or until tops are golden brown. Serve warm. 

Note: You can divide the dough and make two different types/flavors of scone.
