These are super easy and absolutely delish!!!
Raisin Scones
1 1/2 cups unbleached flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 whole wheat flour
1/4 cup sugar
6 tablespoons of butter or margerine
1 large egg
3/4 cup plain yogurt (Skinny: Nonfat Yogurt)
1/2 cup raisins or chopped dates
*I also added approx. 1 tablespoon of cinnamon to give it a little extra something.
Preheat oven: 425 degrees F
Sift flower, baking soda, and baking powder into a large bowl. Add the whole wheat flour and sugar. Mix together. Cut the butter into several pieces and rub into the flours with your finger tips until the texture resembles peas.\
In a small bowl, beat egg and add in yogurt and raisins. Pour into flour mixture, using a fork, stir until soft dough is formed.
Lightly flour a baking tray. Scoop dough onto tray and pat into rounds approx. 3/4 inch think. Bake for 20 minutes or until skewer comes out of center clean.
Serve with warm butter and jam.
**It says, that this is 6 to 8 servings, but honestly, even at 8, they are still pretty big. With kids especially, you could cut that in half and get twice as many servings. Just don't forget to adjust cooking time!!
I'm thinking of trying it with apples too. Will let you know how that goes.
