Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 40 grams powdered sugar
- 150 milliliters skim milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 75 grams raisins
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and powdered sugar. Mix well to ensure the baking powder is evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the skim milk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until well combined.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir gently to combine, taking care not to overmix.
Add the raisins and fold them into the dough until evenly dispersed.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it just enough to bring it together. Flatten the dough to about 1-inch thickness.
Using a round cutter or a glass rim approximately 2 inches in diameter, cut out scones from the dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Gather any leftover dough, gently form it back together, and continue cutting until all dough is used.
Brush the tops of the scones with a little extra skim milk to help them brown.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the scones are golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let the scones cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
