Granny's Irish Scones are filled with raisins or currants.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 16 ounces self-rising flour
- 4 ounces butter
- 3 ounces sugar
- milk
- 2 eggs
- 5 ounces raisins or currants
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Preparation:
Mix flour and butter together with your fingers until the mixture is fine; add sugar, raisins and baking powder. Beat eggs and add. Pour in enough milk to make mixture into a sticky dough (not too wet). Lift out onto a floured board and flatten out to 1-1/2" in thickness and cut out scones with a biscuit cutter. Place 6 on a greased baking sheet and brush tops with a little beaten egg (this helps them to brown). Bake 15 minutes in preheated 400 degrees F.
