Simple Golden Raisin Scones image

This is a recipe that I adapted from one that I found in one of my old cookbooks. It's amazingly easy to make and it tastes so good for being decently low fat. My father (who is British) insists on me making them for him whenever I visit.These are fantastic reheated in the microwave for a few seconds with some whipped cream on the side or spread with butter. Edit: Ahh - I forgot to add the amount of flour needed in the ingredients. Thank you for the review that pointed it out Beansy!

I'm not a huge fan of raisins, but I still liked these scones. They were light and fluffy, and the raisins added a nice touch of sweetness without being overpowering.

These scones were a bit dry for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would add a little bit more butter or milk next time.

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.
