Scones!

My boyfriend, Jake, asked me to learn how to make scones... so I did!  They're not triangles like you'd see at Starbucks or something, instead they are more traditional; they're circles, like you'd find at tea time with the Queen :)  They're whole wheat with raisins... not very exciting, but they were DELICIOUS with blackberry jam.  I'm thinking of trying some different scones with a fruit in it.. maybe orange?  Stay tuned...

What you'll need:
1/4 c. cold butter
2 c. whole wheat flower
1 c. all purpose flour
2 T. sugar
1/2 t. salt
2 1/2 t. baking soda
2 eggs
3/4 c. buttermilk
1/4 c. raisins

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.  Grease and flour a baking sheet (there's a kind of Pam specifically for baking that has flour in it).
Cut your butter up into small pieces.
Stir up your dry ingredients (flours, sugar, salt, baking soda).  Then add in the butter and use a pastry blender (or your hands) to make big crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk your eggs and buttermilk.  Take out 2 T. for glazing and set aside in a small bowl.
Stir the egg mixture into the dry ingredients so that it holds together.  Stir in the raisins.
Roll out your dough, about 3/4 in. thick.  Use a circle cookie cutter to stamp out your perfect scones.  Put them on the cookie sheet and brush with your glaze.
Bake them until golden, around 10 min.
Enjoy!
They're real easy to split in half to put butter or jam on :)
