Raisin Scones image

I have been making these on and off for at least 25 years. Sometimes I leave out the raisins but they are delicious with or without them. There is never one left over.

Time 25m

Yield 14 scones

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup raisins (optional)
1/4 cup shortening
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup milk

Steps:

  • Put the first six ingredients in a large bow.
  • Mix with 1 cup milk.
  • (Try not to handle too much. You may need a tiny bit more milk but you don't want sticky dough.) Pat on a floured board and shape into a circle.
  • Then cut in diamond shapes.
  • Bake at 375 for 15 minutes or golden brown.
