~*Raisin Scones*~

Here's my version of the Raisin Scone recipe;

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Plain flour
• 2 tbs Granulated white sugar
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1/2 tsp Cinnamon powder
• 1 tsp Baking Powder
• 1 Egg, lightly beaten (keep a small portion for glacing)
• 1/4 cup Cold margarine
• 1.2 tsp Vanilla essence
• 1/3 cup Whipping cream
• 1/2 cup Raisins

Method

1. Soak raisins in hot water for 15 to 20 mins and drain off excess water.
2. Sift flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a mixing bowl and mix well.
3. Cut the cold margarine into small pieces and mix it with the flour mixture using a fork till they resemble bread crumbs.
4. Add whipping cream, vanilla essence, 3/4 of the lightly beaten egg and raisins into the flour mixture. Using a fork, mix to form a dough.
5. Roll out the dough about 3/4 inch thick and cut them with round cookie cutters or wedges. Glace with egg wash.
6. Bake on a baking sheet lined tray at 210 degree celcius for 12 to 15 mins.
7. Makes 10 scones (1.5 inch in diameter). Best eaten warm.
