Buckingham Palace Scones 3 1/2 cups flour pinch of salt 3/4 cup butter 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/2 cup sugar 1 egg 1/2 cup milk 1/2 cup raisins - Cut together butter, flour, salt and baking powder - Add sugar and raisins. - Make well in center of the mixture; add egg and small amount of milk. If mixture appears to be too dry, add more milk. Blend to a nice, smooth dough. - Roll out on floured board to 1/2 inch thick. Use cutter with 2-inch fluted edge. Place on lightly greased baking sheet, brush with beaten egg. - Bake in 350-degree F oven for 10-15 minutes. Center of bottom should be lightly colored. - Serve hot. I copied this recipe couple of years ago from a newspaper; supposedly, those *are* the scones served in the Palace. If I remember right, the recipe came with an article about a guy who used to be cook there. Regardless of the origin, I enjoy them tremendously. I hope you will, too!
