Ingredients:
6 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup sugar
3 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 sticks butter, cut into small pieces
3 eggs
2 cups milk
1 cup currants or raisins (optional)
6 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup sugar
3 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 sticks butter, cut into small pieces
3 eggs
2 cups milk
1 cup currants or raisins (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. Sift the dry ingredients together.
- Mix the butter pieces into the dry ingredients and quickly mix with your fingers.
- Add the currants or raisins and stir with a fork.
- Mix eggs and milk in a separate bowl.
- Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and add the eggs and milk.
- Working with 1/2 of the dough at a time, shape into a ball and pat out to about 1 inch thickness, onto a lightly-floured board.
- Cut into shapes using any circle cutter. A glass dipped in flour will work.
- Brush the top of each scone with a little milk to glaze.
- Bake on a lightly greased cookie sheet for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown.
