Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 lb plain flour
8 Tbsp baking powder
1 lb raisins
4 apples diced small
1 lb castor sugar (superfine sugar)
6 oz butter
4 eggs
2 pt buttermilk (best i can tell this would be 5 us cups since a uk pint is 2.27 cups)

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.
