A couple of weeks ago, my husband who loves scones was telling me of his disappointment when he recently went to a bakery, he asked for a scone,however, due to some misunderstanding, came home to find they had packed him a little iced bun !! what disappointment, he was so looking forward to eating his scone. I had just recently discovered Recipezaar, so I thought I would cheer him up, searched for a recipe for scones and found this one. He couldn't believe his eyes when he came in from work whilst I was baking them ...... the smell when they were cooking in the oven was fabulous. He absolutely loved the scones and has asked me several times to make them since. I've made them with raisins and with cherries ..... the kids, like them plain. Thank you for sharing this - a keeper for me.

These are really wonderful scones. I did not have any raisins but they were devoured all the same with butter and tea for our Sunday morning breakfast. If you don't have self-raising flour, you can add 1 1/2 tsp baking powder plus 1/2 tsp salt for every cup of all-purpose flour you substitute.

I was born in Ireland and just moved from England to Colorado. So from a scone lover, maker and eater these get 5 stars from me. Very simple recipe, very economical but they come out just wonderful. I changed the raisins to golden raisins as these are more like Irish and English sultanas which I personally prefer. And, something I do with sultanas is to soak them in tea (black) overnight and it makes the sultanas lovely and plump and yummy. So for a beginner or seasoned scone maker this recipe just turns out wonderful. You cannot go wrong and people will think you are making these for years! Thank you to Ann Teapot.
