Time 30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
¼ cup white sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup margarine, chilled
½ cup currants
1 egg
⅔ cup milk
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons white sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease one baking sheet.
  • Combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, white sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg and salt in a bowl and mix well. Cut in the butter until crumbly and stir in the raisins. Make a well in the center.
  • In a small bowl beat the egg until frothy. Mix in the milk and pour into the well made in the dry ingredients. Stir to make a soft dough.
  • Turn dough out on to a lightly floured surface. Knead gently 8 to 10 times. Pat dough into two 6 inch circles and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Score each top into 6 pie shaped wedges.
  • Bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 15 minutes or until well risen and browned. Serve hot with butter. Maple butter goes very well with these scones.

These scones were a disaster! They were dry, crumbly, and tasteless. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I couldn't find any cayenne pepper, so I used chili powder instead. The scones turned out great!

These scones were a bit dry, but they were still tasty. I would recommend adding a bit more milk to the batter next time.

I've made these scones several times now and they're always a favorite. They're so easy to make and they're always delicious.

These scones were a bit too spicy for my taste, but they were still good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time.

These scones were absolutely delicious! I've never had a scone before, but these were so moist and flavorful. I will definitely be making these again.
