Easy Buttery Drop Raisin Scones

"These scones are fast to come together on a busy morning. Very tender and tasty too! You can premix the dry ingredients and cut in the butter and store it in the fridge until you are ready to prepare the scones."

  1. Very good. I didn't brush the tops with egg. I used reduced-sugar jam on them, they didn't need butter. Thank you :)
     
  2. VERY, VERY YUMMY SCONES INDEED! I made these this morning and they were super duper easy and quick to come together. The dough was very easy to work with and the scones turned out very flaky and tasty with a crisp crust on the outside. I luv that these dont have sugar in them, so that you can eat them sweet or savoury as you please. The raisins give them a nice fruity sweetness, which is great! This was my first attempt at making drop scones as Ive only ever made cut out ones. I really like the easiness of these! I dont have a cookie scoop so I just used a tablespoon and ended up with 9 rather big scones. Thanks so much for sharing this winner of a recipe with us, SecretAgent! Ill surely make it often again!

Hello Zaars and Zaarinas! Thank all of you who tried my 'memory' recipes and left such nice reviews and for taking such lovely pictures. I do appreciate your comments. My pet peeves about cooking are recipe reviews where the reviewer says, "I made the recipe exactly as written EXCEPT yada yada yada" and I don't like suggestive names or titles such as, "Better Than Sex". I don't know why anyone would eat anything that is 'sinful' or 'decadent' since decadent is described as being decaying. Also, PAP-RI-KA only has 3 syllables. VINAIGRETTE is pronounced vin-a-grette, not vinager-ette. It's mas-car-pone not mars-ca-pone. And I don't like cutesy adult baby talk,,, or metro chic names like delish, nutrish, yummo, sammy, BAM! Oh well, I make as many, or more, faux pas as the next guy especially in ASL! Things that crack me up are: DH Fred from youtube.com Nick, my nephew Fish and Poi song as performed by PoiBoi My possum recipe per the song on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVvL4-srt6U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpbyM8k7e2Q wow this is good! my Doggie Little Yellow Petey Bird on youtube My BFF's. all of them and there are so many! and my little Sister Mary Beth. She has MS and Lupus and a great attitude. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg">
