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.

Overall, I thought these scones were pretty good. They were easy to make and they had a nice flavor. However, I found them to be a bit too dense for my taste.

These scones were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more buttermilk next time.

I'm not usually a big fan of scones, but these raisin scones are amazing! They're so light and fluffy, and the raisins add a perfect amount of sweetness.

These scones are so easy to make and they're always a hit with my family and friends. I love that I can use different types of raisins or dried fruit to change up the flavor.

I've made these scones several times now and they always turn out great. They're the perfect balance of sweet and tart, and the raisins add a nice chewy texture.

I followed the recipe exactly and the scones turned out perfectly. They were golden brown and flaky on the outside, and soft and moist on the inside.

The scones were good, but I found them to be a bit bland. I think I would add some spices, like cinnamon or nutmeg, next time.

I love these scones! They are so easy to make and they always turn out perfect. I usually add a little bit of cinnamon sugar to the top before baking, which gives them a nice extra flavor.
