APPLE RAISIN SCONES
Adopted recipe.These are nice and tender. I think the added sugar on the top makes them just right. You could probably mix the confectioners sugar with a little water to make a glaze for them too.

Steps:
- 1. NOTE: Castor sugar is finer that US granulated sugar (regular table sugar), but not as fine as powdered sugar. You can make it by putting regular sugar in a food processor for a few moments.
- 2. Mix all dry ingredients together in a very large bowl.
- 3. Add eggs, buttermilk, butter and fruit. Lightly knead into a dough-like consistency.
- 4. Roll out to 1 inch thickness and cut with a fluted cutter. Bake at 340F for 10-12 minutes.
- 5. My note: I think you could easily use any type of dried fruit in place of the raisins. The hotel we stayed at had really great fruit scones. I think dried apricots, dried cherries, golden raisins or a mix of any of these.
Tips:
- For a vegan option, replace the butter with vegan butter or coconut oil, and the milk with almond or soy milk.
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free flour.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- For a sweeter scone, add 1/4 cup of sugar to the dough.
- For a more savory scone, add 1/4 cup of grated cheddar cheese to the dough.
- To make sure your scones are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of one. If it comes out clean, they're done.
- Serve your scones warm with butter, jam, or clotted cream.
Conclusion:
Apple raisin scones are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast treat. They're perfect for a lazy weekend morning or a special occasion. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of scones that are sure to please everyone at the table.
