Raisin Scones

Ingredients

Flour 225 g

Butter 50 g

Sugar 60 g

Egg 1

Raisins 60 g

Milk 60 ml

Baking powder 7 g

Salt 1 pinch

Sift the flour and mix with the baking powder and salt. Add the diced butter. Rub the butter and flour together with your hands until smooth. Add the raisins and granulated sugar. Mix well.

Add the egg to the dough and pour in 50 ml of milk (the remaining 10 ml will be used for greasing the buns). Mix thoroughly to form a buttery dough.

 Form the dough into a 1.5 cm thick layer. Cut out rounds of dough about 7 cm in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush with milk. Bake in a preheated oven at 210°C for 12 minutes.

Believe me, this will be enough time for the scones to bake perfectly and develop a golden brown crust.

Remove the finished scones from the oven, cool slightly, and serve warm.

Traditionally, these pastries are served with tea and accompanied by butter or jam.

Bon appétit!
