British Scones Recipe

Ingredients
2 1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cups raisins
1/2 cup currants or candied fruit
1 cup sour milk
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425F.
2. Combine 2 1/2 cups flour, sugar, cream of tartar, baking soda and baking powder in a medium bowl. Cut in softened butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Add raisins and currants, mixing until fruit is coated with the flour mixture.
3. Add sour milk and mix well.
4. Turn onto a floured board and knead, adding enough extra flour to make a slightly stiff dough. Pat to about 3/4-inch thickness and cut with a 2-inch round cutter. Place scones on cookie sheet and bake 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm or cold.
Note: To sour milk, add 1 tablespoon lemon juice to 1 cup milk. Let stand 15 minutes.
