Instructions:
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt. Mix well.
-
-
Incorporate Butter: Add the butter to the dry ingredients. Using knives or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles fine crumbs.
-
Add Sugar and Raisins: Stir in the sugar and dark raisins until evenly distributed.
-
Incorporate Buttermilk: Pour the buttermilk into the dry ingredients mixture. Gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Handle Dough Gently: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough very gently, no more than 10 times, just until it comes together.
-
Shape the Dough: Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a round, 6-inch circle.
-
Cut into Wedges: Cut each circle into 6 wedges, like slicing a pie.
-
Preheat Griddle: Lightly grease a griddle or skillet and place it over very low heat until it’s hot.
-
Cook Scones: Carefully place the scones onto the griddle and cook for about 12 minutes, or until golden brown underneath. Flip the scones and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes on the other side.
-
Serve: Once cooked through and golden on both sides, remove the scones from the griddle. Keep them warm until serving. Serve with butter and fruit preserves, or enjoy them with some homemade strawberry freezer jam for a delightful treat.
These Scottish Raisin Griddle Scones are best enjoyed fresh off the griddle, with their warm, buttery goodness melting in your mouth. They’re sure to become a favorite for breakfast, brunch, or any time you crave a cozy, homemade treat.
