Servings 12 scones

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ⅓ cup Flour
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Nutmeg ground
  • 3 tablespoons Butter
  • handful Raisins
  • 1 Orange
  • 1 Egg
  • 4 tablespoons Milk

Instructions
 

  • Zest the orange. Set the zest aside. Set the rest of the orange in the fridge for another use.
  • Put the flour, salt, baking powder and ground spice in a bowl. Combine well with a fork or with your hands. Add the butter, and with a pastry cutter or with your hands work the butter in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the raisins, sugar and zest, and stir, then make a well in the centre.
  • Start your griddle or frying pan heating with a small amount of fat in it (plain oil, butter or shortening.)
  • Beat the egg in a separate bowl. Add the milk to the egg, stir together well with a fork, then pour into the well in your flour mixture and combine. It should make a firm dough. If it looks like more milk is needed to take up all the flour, then add a tidge more at a time. Don't let the dough get gloopy, and don't overmix or knead it.
  • Roll the dough out on a floured surface to a thickness of ½ inch (1 cm.) Cut into triangles.
  • Cook each scone on the griddle for about 5 minutes each side. When done, the sides should be browned.
  • Serve warm or room temperature.

Notes

Instead of nutmeg, you can use cinnamon, mace or allspice. If you don't have a griddle, a good sturdy frying pan -- such as a cast iron one -- will do the trick nicely.
