• ~~~FREEZING INSTRUCTIONS~~~~.
• To freeze: Allow scones to cool. Freeze in a rigid container or in freezer bags. Seal, label and freeze.
• To serve: For crispier scones, thaw/reheat in a 325 degree oven for about 5 minutes. For softer scones, thaw/reheat in the microwave for about 1 minute on 30% power.

Steps:

• In a large bowl stir together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
• With a fork or finger tips cut in chilled butter and shortening, until mixture resembles cornmeal with a few larger clumps.
• Stir in drained raisins.
• Combine eggs with evaporated milk.
• Add all but about 4 tablespoons of liquid to the flour mixture.
• With a fork or hands lightly moisten the dry ingredients with the wet. Stop once mixture is combined and there are no traces of flour. Dough SHOULD NOT be smooth.
• Cover and set aside for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly greased aluminum foil.
• Divide dough in half; flatten into 2 rounds about 1/2 inch thick on baking sheet. Score into wedges but do not separate. (Alternately shape into about 12 to 14 individual mounds and arrange on baking sheet. Leave a couple inches in between each scone.).
• Brush scones with reserved milk/egg mixture and sprinkle generously with fine sugar.
• Bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes.
• Lower temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Bake for another 12 to 15 minutes, until very lightly golden brown on bottom and edges.
• Enjoy piping hot with butter or at room temperature.
• Best if eaten with 1 or 2 days.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Line 2 baking sheets with foil. Sift flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into large bowl. Add butter and rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in raisins. Whisk cream, 2 eggs, vanilla and lemon peel in medium bowl to blend. Add egg mixture to flour mixture; stir just until combined. Gather dough into ball and knead lightly. Roll out dough on floured surface to 3/4-inch thickness. Using 2-inch round cookie cutter, cut out scones. Gather scraps; reroll and cut out additional scones. Place scones on prepared baking sheets, spacing apart.
• Whisk remaining egg and 2 teaspoons water in small bowl to blend. Brush egg mixture over tops of scones. Bake scones until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer scones to rack and cool slightly. (Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cool completely. Store in airtight container at room temperature.) Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Sift all dry ingredients together.
• Cut in butter until crumbly.
• Stir in raisins.
• Mix the milk with one beaten egg and stir into the dry mix until it just comes together.
• Onto a parchment lined sheet pan, scoop out 10 scones with a large cookie scooper.
• Brush each scone with the remaining beaten egg and bake at 425* for 12 to 15 minutes.
• Serve with butter and jam.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine dry ingredients. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in raisins and buttermilk just until moistened. Turn onto a floured surface; knead gently 6-8 times. Pat into an 8-in. circle and cut into 12 wedges. Place 1 in. apart on a greased baking sheet. Beat egg white until foamy; brush over scones. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 425° for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Sift all purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into medium bowl. Add chilled butter; using fingertips, rub in until coarse meal forms. Mix in chips. Whisk 1/2 cup cream and egg in small bowl to blend. Gradually add cream mixture to dry ingredients, tossing with fork until dough comes together in moist clumps. Add more cream by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Drop dough by 1/4 cupfuls onto large rimmed baking sheet, spacing apart. Bake scones until golden brown and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Stir all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a mixing bowl until all ingredients are evenly dispersed.
• Stir buttermilk, applesauce, and egg together in a separate bowl. Add to flour mixture and stir until dough is sticky. Fold in cranberries and almonds.
• Combine sugar and cinnamon in a bowl for the topping. Drop 1/4 cup-size dollops of batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes.

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a medium bowl, mix flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Grate butter into flour mixture on the large holes of a box grater; use your fingers to work in butter (mixture should resemble coarse meal), then stir in raisins.
• In a small bowl, whisk sour cream and egg until smooth.
• Using a fork, stir sour cream mixture into flour mixture until large dough clumps form. Use your hands to press the dough against the bowl into a ball. (The dough will be sticky in places, and there may not seem to be enough liquid at first, but as you press, the dough will come together.)
• Place on a lightly floured surface and pat into a 7- to 8-inch circle about 3/4-inch thick. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tsp. of sugar. Use a sharp knife to cut into 8 triangles; place on a cookie sheet (preferably lined with parchment paper), about 1 inch apart. Bake until golden, about 15 to 17 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk milk, granulated sugar, and kosher salt in a medium bowl until sugar and salt dissolve. Whisk flour and baking powder in a large bowl. Cut 10 Tbsp. butter into 1/2" cubes, add to flour mixture, and blend with a pastry cutter or your fingertips until pea-size pieces form with some larger chunks remaining. Add milk mixture and stir with a fork until large clumps form. Gently knead in the bowl until dough just comes together. Transfer to a lightly floured work surface.
• With a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out dough to a 14x8" rectangle, with long side facing you. Heat 2 Tbsp. butter in a small, microwave-proof bowl in the microwave until softened but not melted, about 20 seconds. Spread evenly over dough with fingertips, then sprinkle currants evenly on top and press to adhere. Fold up bottom third of dough over center, then fold down top third to meet bottom edge, as if folding a letter. Fold in half crosswise, then, using a rolling pin, gently flatten into an 8x4" rectangle.
• Cut dough in half lengthwise and in quarters crosswise to form 8 even squares. Transfer to prepared pan, spacing 2" apart. Sprinkle tops generously with demerara sugar and lightly with flaky sea salt.
• Bake until scones are golden brown, 25-30 minutes. Meanwhile, melt remaining 4 Tbsp. butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. When butter bubbles, remove from heat and skim off foam from surface. As soon as the scones come out of the oven, lightly brush tops with clarified butter, leaving behind white solids in bottom of saucepan. Cool scones on sheet on a wire rack and serve hot, warm, or room temperature.
