Fruit Scones

2-1/2 c All-purpose flour
2 teaspoon Baking powder
1 teaspoon Baking soda
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 c Sugar
6 tablespoon Cold butter, cut in small pieces
1/2 c Raisins (plumped)
1 Egg, beaten
1 c Plain yogurt (8oz carton)
Grated peel of 1/2 lemon
Milk for brushing on scones
Butter

Preheat oven to 425F (220C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet; set aside. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl.

Stir in sugar. With your fingers, rub in butter pieces until mixture is crumbly. Mix in raisins. With a form, stir in egg, yogurt and lemon peel and blend well to make a dough that BARELY holds together (you may need to press dough together with your hands). Turn out onto a floured surface.

Roll out with a floured rolling pin or pat dough with your hands to make a round about 1/2-inch thick. Cut in rounds with a 1-1/2-inch fluted or plain cookie cutter. Place 1 to 1-1/2 inches apart on baking sheet; brush tops lightly with milk. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until scones are well risen and golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. Split and serve warm with butter.

Makes about 18 scones.
