Recipe: Raisin Scones
Adapted from Sun-Maid
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup milk
1 beaten egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup Sun-Maid Natural Raisins
1 beaten egg yolk (for egg wash)
Method:
Pre-heat the oven to 400 F. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add in the butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs and then follow by the egg and vanilla. Add in the milk slowly. If the dough becomes too sticky, stop adding the milk, instead add a little more flour to form the dough. Stir until the dry ingredients are moistened. Add in the raisins.
Roll out the dough on floured surface to 3/4-inch thickness. Using a 2-inch round cookie cutter, cut out the scones. Gather the scraps; reroll and cut out additional scones. Place the scones on prepared baking sheets, spacing apart.
Brush egg yolk over the tops of the scones. Bake scones until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
Serve warm.
Cook’s Note:
If the dough is too sticky, add more flour to the dough.

Beautiful scones.
Annie makes some awesome scones. They’re very popular with all our friends. Way, way better than the kind you can get in Cameron Highlands. We’ll have to blog about ours soon.
these look gr8. i’m yet to try out scaones, and am going to save this recipe for when that day finally arrives :p,
Nice to see you back in action.
bless you for making scones. i cannot do without em. Cream tea is life! :)
i love em with really good homemade strawberry jam and clotted cream. one of the most relaxing, comforting things ever.
these are beautiful. i never bother with an egg wash or sorts to give it that top shine, but maybe i really should now that i’ve seen these :)
true, scones don’t register for 99.9% malaysians !

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!
hello, i would like to ask, whether can i use low protein flour instead of plain flour?
You might need high gluten flour for this.
Hi there,
To prevent the sticky dough, instead of adding additional flour, can we reduce the amount of milk? If not, how much more flour do we add on at the end? Would like to give a try soon ;o).
