An easy to make recipe which I found on the internet and adapted (improved!) slightly. (Note: the English don't generally put coconut in their scones, it just adds a little flavour). Serve with thick cream and jam at tea time along with a hot drink. Yum! (See recipe #134673 for alternative).

Ingredients

6 serv.

sifted all-purpose flour (256gm)2 cups
white sugar↗1⁄2 cup
baking powder↗2 1⁄2 teaspoons
baking soda↗1⁄2 teaspoon
salt (3ml)↗1⁄2 teaspoon
margarine (I use 5 tbsp on a butter stick) or 1/4 cup butter (I use 5 tbsp on a butter stick)↗1⁄4 cup
sultana raisin (in a pinch regular raisins will do fine)↗3⁄4 cup
milk↗1 cup
sweetened flaked coconut↗1⁄2 cup

Step-by-step instructions

1
Preheat oven to 425°F or 220°C and grease baking tray with margarine ready.
2
Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt together.
3
Cut in the margarine or butter till mixture resembles very fine breadcrumbs, then stir in the raisins and coconut.
4
Add the milk and mix to make a smooth dough. (Adding a little more milk if necessary. The mix should not be too dry).
5
Knead very lightly for ten seconds on a lightly floured surface. Roll or pat to about 3/4" thick (2 cm) and either cut into individual scones.
6
