Raisin Scones

Ingredients

• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 2.5 Tbsp sugar
• 1 Tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 6 Tbsp cold butter, cut into bits
• 3/4 cup raisins

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400. Whisk the egg and milk together in one bowl and the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in another.
2. Drop the butter into the dry mixture and, using your fingers, cut butter in until mixture is pebbly. Pour in the milk and the egg. Mix until the dough is evenly moist. Add the raisins and give the very sticky dough a few more stirs.
3. Spoon a dozen mounds of dough onto a foil-lined baking sheet and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown. Cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with butter or jam.
