"gold Room" Scones

Ingredients

3 5/8 c flour
1/2 c sugar
1 1/2 tb baking powder
1 t salt
1/2 c butter
2 eggs
3/4 c milk
3/4 c raisins
3/8 c honey

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425F. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Mix well. Cut the butter into the flour mixture with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Add the eggs, milk and raisings. Stir quickly with a fork until the dough leaves the sides of the bowl and forms a ball. Spoon onto an ungreased cookie sheet to form the desired number of scones. Leave at least 1" between the scones. Bake until golden (about 12-15 minutes). Remove to a wire rack, and brush immediately with honey. Serve at once with butter, jam and whipped cream.
