Ingredients

  • 1 c. (2 sticks) butter or margarine
  • 4 3/4 c. self-rising flour
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 2 tsp. cream of tartar
  • 2/3 c. sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 c. golden raisins or currants
  • 1 1/3 c. milk

Method

  • Remove butter from refrigerator 25 minutes before preparing scones to soften.
