I have never paid much attention to scones–I don’t even remember the last time I had them, but it all changed when I was on my cruise vacation. Being on a giant ship 24 hours x 9 days—mostly sea bound—means that the best past time on board was to eat. Every afternoon, I had scones for my afternoon tea, and of course, a crepe or two. And then one fine day, I fathomed that scones are such great things to eat—under the shade on the deck overlooking the azure blue sea—over a cup of tea or tea…
So, that was how I discovered them and marked the start of my love affair with scones, especially raisin scones. I have always loved raisins and in this recipe, raisins give that extra sweetness and add moisture to the scones.

Hokkaido Soft Bread (Hokkaido Milk Loaf)
If you love Rasa Malaysia, it’s very likely that you love Asian food, and probably love Asian-style pastry.

in future pls use grams or ozs in your measurement as cups are not very accurate like 1/2 cup butter, etc. thanks
Hi Anonymous – I don’t use grams or ozs that much as most people do not have a scale at home, but many home cooks have measuring cups at home. Sorry for the inconvenience.
This raisin scones look so good! I will try to make it using your raisin scones recipe
I tried your scones recipe last night.
However, I had trouble with the dough. I followed the recipe word for word but when I got to the dough part, it turned out really sticky, so I couldn’t roll it out and use the cookie cutter. It still taste good nonetheless. Maybe you could explain to me the methods even clearer. I’d very much like to try it again.
Roselyn – try adding more flour as you knead the dough. This should help.
I made this recipe today, however when I tasted it there was way too much baking soda. It was disappointing because they looked and smelled so good. I was just wondering if perhaps it is 1 teaspoon of baking soda rather than 1 tablespoon? I followed the recipe exactly. Thanks for your help!!
Chelsea, you used the wrong ingredient. It’s 1 tablespoon of baking powder, not baking soda.
I am planning to try this out soon – I see from other recipes that 1 tablespoon of baking powder is just about right. As baking soda differs from baking powder, I suppose 1 tablespoon of baking powder will work?
Hi, Would you mind to clarify if your recipe calls for baking powder or baking soda and the corresponding amount required?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Anita, it’s baking powder as stated in the recipe.
I have tried your recipe yesterday, as for the sticky dough, I added little bit of flour. Result was very yummy. Will definately use in future!
Hi,
I would like to bake the raisin scones. Do you have the measurement in grams ? flours? sugar? milk? Or are using measuring cups to measure all those ingredients?
Kindly advise. thanks.
Lovi.
For those looking for different measurements..you can google search for a measurement converter app that will easily help you do the conversions. Hope this helps!
