Yield Makes 10 scones

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) cold unsalted butter
1/2 cup dark raisins
1 1/4 cups whole milk

Steps:

  • Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  • Cut butter into bits and, with your fingertips or a pastry blender, blend into flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal.
  • Using a fork, stir raisins and milk until just combined.
  • Transfer to a lightly floured surface and, with floured hands, knead until it forms a dough.
  • Roll out dough into a 9-inch round (about 1/2 inch thick) and cut out scones with a 2 1/2-inch round cutter.
  • Arrange scones 1 inch apart on a buttered large baking sheet and gently reroll and cut out scraps.
  • Bake scones in middle of a 425°F oven until pale golden, about 15 minutes, and transfer to a rack to cool.
