Instructions:
-
Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 400 degrees Fahrenheit, creating the perfect environment for these scones to work their magic.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients – 2 cups of flour, 3 teaspoons of baking powder, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Let the symphony of flavors begin!
-
Now, cut in the butter, treating it as you would for a pie crust, ensuring a perfect integration that promises flakiness and richness.
-
Stir in the finely diced apples and the luscious raisins, infusing the dough with fruity goodness that will leave you craving for more.
-
To achieve the desired dough consistency, add just enough water, allowing the ingredients to come together in a harmonious blend.
-
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to approximately 1/2 inch thick, forming a delightful 8-inch circle that sets the stage for the upcoming scone magic.
-
Cut the dough into triangles, embracing the classic scone shape, and place them on a baking sheet. Let them dance in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until they boast a light golden brown hue, signifying their readiness to be devoured.
-
As the scones emerge from their oven waltz, sprinkle them with a tablespoon of confectioners’ sugar, creating a sweet, ethereal dust that enhances both flavor and aesthetics.
-
Allow these heavenly creations to cool, basking in the aromatic ambiance they create.
-
Finally, gently separate the triangles, each one a masterpiece in its own right, ready to be enjoyed with a cup of tea or coffee, or perhaps as a standalone indulgence.
