Raisin Scones

I use to make these all the time.  Already adjusted the recipe using Stevia, not Truvia. Might need some more minor adjusting.

Raisin Scones
(Biscuits & Scones Cookbook – Makes 7 – 8 scones)

2 C bread machine flour
2 t baking powder
½ t baking soda
½ t nutmeg and/or cinnamon
½ t salt (none if using salted butter)
8 T (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut up
1 C raisins
1 ½ t stevia powder
1 large egg
2/3 C buttermilk or plain yogurt

Method
Preheat oven to 375 F. Put flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg and salt (if needed) into large bowl; stir to mix well.  Add butter and cut in with a pastry blender, until the mixture looks like fine granules.  Add raisins and sprinkle with stevia; mix evenly with a fork.
Add egg yolk to buttermilk and whisk with a fork to blend.  Pour over flour mixture and stir with 2 forks until a soft dough forms.  Turn out dough onto a lightly floured piece of parchment paper and give 10 to 12 kneads.  Turn smooth side up and pat into an 8-inch circle. Lightly flour the top of circle (if needed to keep biscuit cutter from sticking).  Cut into 7 or 8 round scones, placing each on a cookie sheet sized piece of parchment paper.

In a small bowl, beat the egg white with a fork until just broken up.  Brush the top of each scone with egg white.  With a pancake turner, carefully transfer the scones to an un-greased cookie sheet or baking stone.

Bake 18 – 22 minutes, or until medium brown.  Cool on a wire rack.  After 5 minutes, loosely cover with a paper towel.

*  Serve warm with Devon Cream/Lemon Curd or Whipped Cream Cheese/favorite jam.  Lasts a week in a sealed ZipLock bag.  Perfect with your favorite English tea (with cream & Truvia).
