Breakfast

I made some scones this morning because the wife wanted to try some new lemon curd she bought at the gormet grocery.

I couldn't find a recipe that fit what I was doing, so I modified a biscuit recipe.

3 cups all purpose flour
3tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp salt

1 and 1/2 sticks butter
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup orange juice
1 cup raisins.

Preheat oven to 425

Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl and add in butter. Pinch the butter and flour mixture between your fingers until the flour turns to coarse crumbs.
add milk, raisins and orange juice. Mix well.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it till it's about 1/2 inch thick. Cut rounds out of the dough with a coffee cup or biscuit cutter.

Place the cut scones in an ungreased 9 inch round baking pan. Bake for 12 minutes on the center rack. Tops should be light brown. Serve with jam, butter, honey or just a cup of coffee.
