Raisin Scones 葡萄乾司康餅

When i first tasted this raisin scones given by my friend, i was so impressed and i would said this is the best scone that i have ever had. Buttery, crisp on outside, soft and fluffy inside, less sweet, so good. Thanks to my friend Jennifer so kind to share with me this wonderful scone recipe !

As for liquid in this recipe. My friend had tried with milk, yogurt, whipping cream, and she said the best result is use Buttermilk !!

If you have leftover scones till next day, best to toast it for a while, it will taste like freshly bake !
