Raisin scones

This is my first try at baking a scone. Not bad!

Ingredients
1 cup of self raising flour
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
20 ml milk
1 egg
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup raisins soaked in orange juice

Using a food processor, blitz the butter, flour and baking powder. It should look like bread crumbs. Then pour into a mixing bowl and make a well at the center. In another bowl, beat the eggs, milk and then add the raisins (drained). Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and mix till it becomes a soft dry dough. On a floured surface, roll till 3/4 inch thick. Use a cookie cutter to make six even circles. Brushit lightly with milk and bake in oven for 15 minutes at 205 Degrees Celcius. Let it cool on a rack and serve with your favourite jam, butter and fresh whipped cream.
