Raisin Scones

This a favorite scone recipe of mine that we had for breakfast today. It is light and flaky and just has a perfect crustyness to it that I really enjoy. They are best fresh but do reheat nicely as well.

2 eggs

1 cup milk

1 1/2 cup all pupose flour

2 1/2 cup whole wheat flour

4 1/2 Tbsp sugar

2 Tbsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1/2 cup butter

3 Tbsp oil

1 cup raisins, I have used craisins here as well

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.

Whisk the egg and milk in a bowl. Mix the flour, sugar, B powder and salt in another.

2. Drop the butter and oil into the flour mix and using your fingers or mixer, mix together until pebbly appearing, like sand. Pour in milk and eggs. Mix together until the dough is evenly moist. Add the raisins and give the very sticky dough a few more stirs.

3. Spoon 24 mounds of dough onto a greased baking sheet and bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and feel light when you try to lift them off the pan.

Cool for a few mintues.

4. Serve warm with a little butter or jam or a bit of both. A dollup of whip cream is quite fantabulous on it as well. But, you really don't need anything on them when they are fresh.

Enjoy!
