Fruit Scones

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly grease a large baking sheet; set aside.

2. 2

   Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large bowl. Stir in sugar.

3. 3

   With your fingers, rub in butter pieces until mixture is crumbly.

4. 4

   Mix in raisins. With a fork, stir in egg, yogurt and lemon peel. Blend well to make a dough that barely holds together (you may need to press dough together with your hands).

5. 5

   Turn out onto a floured surface. Roll out with a floured rolling pin or pat dough with your hands to make a circle about 1/2 inch thick. Cut in circles with a 1 - 1 1/2 inch circular cookie cutter.

6. 6

   Place 1 to 1 1/2 inches apart on baking sheet; brush tops lightly with milk.

7. 7

   Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until scones are well risen and golden.

8. 8

   Transfer to a wire rack to cool 5 minutes. Best if served warm with butter and preserves.
