Scottish Honey Scones

 

1 cup flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

3 tablespoons butter, softened

1 egg

3 tablespoons honey

1/2 cup raisins

milk

 

Mix the flour and baking powder. Add the butter with a

fork, stirring well. The mixture will be crumbly. Beat

the egg lightly and stir in honey. Add to the flour

mixture. Then stir in the raisins. Form the dough into

a ball.

Flour a surface. Roll the out the dough with a rolling

pin to a thickness of 1/2-inch. Cut out the scones

with a 2-inch cookie cutter. Brush the top of each

scone lightly with milk. Grease a cookie sheet and

sprinkle it with flour. Place the scones 1 inch apart.

Bake until the tops are browned, about 10 minutes.

Transfer to a rack to cool.

Serves 16 to 18
