Cinnamon Raisin Scones

[Ellise]

1-3/4 cups plus 3 tablespoons flour

3 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons applesauce

1/2 cup low fat milk

1 egg

1/3 cup raisins

 

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, measure 1-3/4 cup flour, 3-tablespoons sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.

Mix together with a large spoon.

Melt butter and place in a medium bowl with the applesauce.

Add the milk, egg and raisins.

Stir just until the ingredients are blended.  

Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture.

Stir until the dough forms into a ball.

Sprinkle the 3-tablespoons of flour on a flour surface.

Flour your hands well and move the dough from the bowl to the surface.

 Knead the dough by using the heel of your hand to push the dough away from you.

Then with your hands, pull the dough back toward you, folding over as you pull it.

Repeat this for about 1 minute.

Place the kneaded dough on an ungreased cookie sheet or pizza pan.

Pat the dough into an 8-inch circle.

With a knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into 8 wedges.

Place the baking sheet in a preheated 425-degree oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Yields: 8 scones.

 

Variations:

Instead of raisins, try other dried, chopped fruit such as apples, apricot, mango, papaya, etc
