A sweet biscuit recipe, with butterscotch and raisins. These make a particularly tasty little dessert scone, but also go well with a hot cup of rich black tea.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tbs baking powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup vegetable shortening
- 1 cup quick oats, uncooked
- 3/4 cup butterscotch chips
- 1/3 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tbs honey
- 1 tbs sugar
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 425F. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening, until your mixture looks like thick crumbs. Stir in oats, butterscotch, and raisins. In a smaller bowl, combine milk, egg and honey. Mix well. Add egg mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until just moist. Drop rounded spoonfuls on to an ungreased cookie sheet. Sprinkle each with sugar and cinnamon. Bake scones for 8-10 minutes.
