Yield: 14 servings

3 ľ cups flour
1 ˝ tablespoons baking powder
˝ teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
˝ cup raisins
1 Ľ cups milk

Instructions:
Sift together 3 and ľ cups all-purpose flour, 1 and ˝ tablespoons baking powder, and ˝ teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Cut 6 tablespoons (3/4 cup) butter into bits and, with your fingertips mix into flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Using a fork, stir in ˝ cup dark raisins and 1 and Ľ cups milk until combined. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and, with floured hands, knead it until it forms a dough. Roll out dough into a 9” round (about ˝ inch thick) and cut out scones with a 2 ˝ inch round cutter.

Bake scones in middle of a 425 degrees F oven until pale golden, about 15 minutes, and transfer to a rack to cool.

Serve warm with butter and orange marmelade.
