Buckingham Palace Scones

3 1/2 cups flour
pinch of salt
3/4 cup butter
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup raisins

- Cut together butter, flour, salt and baking powder

- Add sugar and raisins.

- Make well in center of the mixture; add egg and small amount of milk. If
  mixture appears to be too dry, add more milk.  Blend to a nice, smooth dough.

- Roll out on floured board to 1/2 inch thick. Use cutter with 2-inch fluted
  edge. Place on lightly greased baking sheet, brush with beaten egg.

- Bake in 350-degree F oven for 10-15 minutes. Center of bottom should be
  lightly colored.

- Serve hot.


I copied this recipe couple of years ago from a newspaper; supposedly, those
*are* the scones served in the Palace. If I remember right, the recipe came
with an article about a guy who used to be cook there.

Regardless of the origin, I enjoy them tremendously. I hope you will, too!
