Lemon Cream Scones

By germanshoe

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup golden raisins
• 1 teaspoon lemon rind, finely grated
• 1 cup whipping cream
• 1 to 359 drops water

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir in raisins and lemon peel. With a fork, stir in cream and enough water as needed until it all comes together into a rough mass. On a lightly floured surface knead dough 5 to 6 times. Place on a greased cookie sheet and pat into an 8-inch circle. With a sharp knife cut halfway through dough to mark into 12 pie-shaped wedges. Bake 20-30 minutes, until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack to cool. Cut into wedges while still warm or cool completely before cutting. Serve warm or at room temperature.
