Buckingham Palace Scones

Recipe By: Posted to rec.food.cooking by Barb Schaller 6-25-06 Serving Size: 1 Preparation Time: 0:00 Categories: Quick Breads

Amount Measure Ingredient Preparation Method 3 1/2 cups flour 1 pinch 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!
