Buttermilk Raisin Scones Recipe




Source of Recipe


Source: Good To Eat


List of Ingredients




2 cups all-purpose flour

2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup sugar

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled

1 cup raisins

1 large egg

1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk



Recipe



Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet.


In a large bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Add the sugar. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or fork until the pieces are the size of peas. Toss in the raisins.


In a small bowl, combine the egg and buttermilk.


Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the egg-milk mixture, stirring until combined. Do not overmix.


Turn the mixture onto a floured board and, with floured hands, pat the dough out into a rectangular shape about 1 inch thick. Cut the dough into 3 strips and divide each strip into 3 triangle shapes.


Place the scones about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet and bake for approximately 15 to 20 minutes, or until the tops are slightly golden
