Gold Room Scones

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425℉ (220℃).

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 inch between the scones.

Bake until golden (about 12 to 15 minutes).

Remove to a wire rack, and brush immediately with honey.

Serve at once with butter, jam and whipped cream.
