Traditional Raisin Scones - One Hundred Dollars a Month

Sometimes going back to basics is best. These scones prove that. The ingredients are simple but their taste is anything but. Classic, yummy scone. I like to make these the night before and then serve them up for breakfast. Saves time in the morning and keeps us from eating cold cereal when I don’t feel like rolling out of bed and throwing on an apron! 😉

Ingredients

2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup sugar
4 tablespoons butter, frozen
2 tablespoons shortening
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 egg
1/2 cup raisins

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet with a silpat or parchment paper and set aside.

Combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Carefully grate frozen butter into flour mixture using the large holes of a box grater. Add shortening. Toss the mixture thoroughly to combine until it resembles a coarse meal.

In a separate bowl, combine cream with beaten egg, and then add to dry ingredients. Stir in raisins.

Roll dough out on floured surface and cut into biscuit size rounds {you can also cut into 6-8 triangles if you’d prefer}. Place the rounds onto the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Bake about 15 minutes or until golden. Enjoy!
