Mrs. Knapp’s Scottish Scones Recipe

Ingredients:

2 cups flour
2 tbsp sugar
2 tsps baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp nutmeg

Directions:

• Cut in 1/2 cup of margarine
• Add 1 cup of raisins
• Add 3/4 cup buttermilk
• Knead on floured surface
• Pat into circles
• Cut into wedges
• Placed on greased cookie sheet
• Bake 12-15 minutes at 425 degrees

If doubling the recipe, bake an additional 20-25 minutes

Notes:

Allowing the margarine to come to room temperature will result in loftier scones.  Freezes well
