Scotch Scones

These were originally made by my Granny and are slightly sweeter and flatter than most scones. They are easy to make too – the no bake method allows me to make these on the hottest days of summer, which make them my family’s favorite camping treat.

Original recipe makes 12 scones

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
salt
3/4 cup butter
1/2 cup raisins

1/4 cup milk

Directions

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter by rubbing the mixture between your fingers until the mixture is fine and crumbly; stir in the raisins. In a small bowl, mix together the egg and milk; mix with dry ingredients to form a soft dough.
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch in thickness. Dip cutter into flour, and stamp out scones. You may need to re roll the dough to get 12.
Heat dry non-stick griddle over medium heat. Cook each side of the scone until slightly raised and golden brown in color. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
