Cinnamon Raisin Scones

When I was little, we used to have some amazing cinnamon raisin scones for special occasions. I decided to recreate them this week. My family loved them so much, I’m making them again this weekend for breakfast.

Cinnamon Raisin Scones

In a medium bowl, combine:

• 2 1/2 C Bisquick
• 1/4 C sugar
• 1 1/2 t cinnamon

Using a box grater, grate in

• 1/4 C cold butter

Using a fork, stir in

• 1/4 C buttermilk
• 1 beaten egg
• 1 t almond extract

Stir in

• 1 c raisins

When the mixture is completely combined,

• pat it out into a 9″ circle  and divide it into eight triangles (like cutting a pie). Put the pieces in a circle on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

or

• if you have a scone pan, divide the dough into eight equal parts and pat the dough into the greased sections.

The ones I had growing up always had a glaze. I suppose you could make a glaze out of powdered sugar, milk and almond extract, but I like prefer them warm with butter. YUM!
