Ingredients:

4 cups all-purpose flour

3 tablespoons baking powder

½ cup sugar

1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons margarine

2 tablespoons shortening

3 eggs beaten

1 ¼ cups milk

1 cup golden raisins

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

2. Sift the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into a large mixing bowl. Work the margarine and shortening into the flour with the fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse meal.

3. Combine the beaten eggs and milk in a separate bowl. Stir into the flour mixture just until the dough comes together. Fold in the raisins.

4. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to about ½ inch thickness. With a 2 inch round cutter, cut out 40 scones and transfer them to a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake the scones for 12 to 15 minutes or until they are light brown. Serve at once with Devonshire cream or butter and jam.

 

*If you want a sweeter scone you can sprinkle them with sugar before baking.
