     Scottish Scones

Category   Breakfast - Brunch
Sub Category   None

Ingredients
1 3/4 c AP flour
4 tsp baking powder
1/4 c white sugar
1/8 tsp salt
5 TBS unsalted butter
1/2 dried currants or craisins
1/2 c milk
1/4 c sour cream
1 egg
 
1 TBS milk

Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Sift the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into a large bowl. Cut in butter using pastry blender or rubbing between your fingers until it is in pea sized lumps. Stir in the raisins. Mix together 1/2 cup milk and sour cream in a measuring cup. Pour all at once into the dry ingredients, and stir gently until well blended. Do not overwork the dough.
With floured hands, pat scone dough into balls 2-3 inches across, depending on what size you want. Place on a greased baking sheet and flatten lightly. Let the scones barely touch each other. Whisk together the egg and 1 TBS milk. Brush the tops of the scones with the egg wash. Let them rest for about 10 minutes.
Bake for 10-15 minutes in the preheated oven until the tops are golden brown (not dark brown). Let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Enjoy with butter, clotted cream (if you can get it), strawberry preserves or orange marmalade, and a nice pot of English Breakfast tea.
