Raisin Scones

April 16, 2018 by Angela LeMoine 10 Comments

I’m telling you, I have a real addiction to baking scones! The possibility of varieties is endless and I love trying new ones all the time. Today I’m sharing with you my Raisin Scones recipe. Its easy and they are so delicious!!! A great one to have on hand for a quick breakfast, an addition to a beautiful brunch or with an afternoon cup of coffee. 

I'm telling you, I    have a real addiction to baking scones! The possibility of varieties is endless and I    love trying new ones all the time. Today I'm sharing with you my Raisin Scones recipe. Its easy and they are so delicious!!! A great one to have on hand for a quick breakfast, an addition to a beautiful brunch or with an afternoon cup of coffee. 

I’ve shared MANY different scone recipes here on the blog and all start with the exact same base. Some of my favorites… Chocolate Chip,  Apple Cinnamon, Oreo and these savory Pecorino, Garlic and Herb Scones. I    happen to love raisins and so do my boys. A couple weeks ago I    cleaned out my pantry and realized that the little boxes of raisins had gotten a little hard so I    figured lets give them new life in a scone!

These scones are wonderfully tender, the sweetness from the plump raisins is perfect and they are just the right amount of sweetness. I’ll definitely be making a batch of these Raisin Scones again very soon, they were a huge hit!!! Another thing I     LOVE about these… I    always make several batches- sometimes different varieties and freeze a bunch. They warm up so perfectly when you just pop them in the oven for a bit- just like fresh baked! Great to grab when you’ve got a friend stopping by!

Raisin Scones
Author: Angela LeMoine
 
Ingredients
  • 2 cups flour
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 6 Tbsp cold butter, small dice
  • 1 cup raisins
  • egg wash {lightly beaten egg with a splash of water}
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Add the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt to a food processor with the dough blade. {you can also use a hand mixer}.
  3. Add in the cold butter and continue to mix until the butter becomes incorporated and the pieces are about the size of peas.
  4. Stir in the raisins just to coat with the dry mixture.
  5. In a measuring cup mix together the buttermilk and egg. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir with a spoon until the dry ingredients are mostly incorporated.
  6. Pour the dough out onto a very lightly floured surface {too much flour will leave you with a heavy dense scone}. Gently press together to form into a round about 1½ inches high.
  7. Cut into 6 even triangles. Place onto a parchment lined baking sheet and brush with some of the egg wash. Sprinkle a little extra sugar on top.
  8. Bake for approx 22-24 minutes or until lightly golden.

      Yes you do! They are really easy to make and I love making several batches with different varieties. I keep a couple of each out and freeze the rest so I always have a supply on hand.
