Coffee Raisin Scones

1 3/4 cups All-purpose flour

2 tablespoons Sugar

2 1/2 teaspoons Baking powder

1/2 teaspoon Salt

6 tablespoons Butter or margarine

1 tablespoon Instant coffee powder

1 tablespoon Water

2 Eggs -- slightly beaten

1/4 cup Milk

1 cup Grape-Nuts Cereal

1/2 cup Raisins

Sugar glaze:

1/8 teaspoon Instant coffee powder

1 tablespoon Water

1/4 cup Powdered sugar

 

 

 

 

 

Preheat oven to 425 degrees; grease baking sheets.

 

Mix flour with sugar, baking powder and salt. Using a pastry blender or 2

knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

 

Dissolve instant coffee in water; combine eggs and milk, and add coffee. Stir

into flour mixture, blending well.

 

Add cereal and raisins. Turn dough out onto a floured surface; pat into a 12 x

4-inch rectangle. With a sharp knife, cut dough into three 4-inch squares; cut

each square into 4 triangles.

 

Place on baking sheets and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. To prepare glaze, dissolve

instant coffee in water. Add to powdered sugar and blend well. Brush over warm

scones.
