Ingredients

• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 40 grams powdered sugar
• 150 milliliters skim milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 75 grams raisins
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and powdered sugar. Mix well to ensure the baking powder is evenly distributed.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the skim milk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until well combined.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir gently to combine, taking care not to overmix.

Step 5

Add the raisins and fold them into the dough until evenly dispersed.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it just enough to bring it together. Flatten the dough to about 1-inch thickness.

Step 7

Using a round cutter or a glass rim approximately 2 inches in diameter, cut out scones from the dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Gather any leftover dough, gently form it back together, and continue cutting until all dough is used.

Step 9

Brush the tops of the scones with a little extra skim milk to help them brown.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the scones are golden brown on top.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the scones cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
