Ingredients

3 cups All-purpose flour

1 cup Granulated sugar

1 Egg

1 cup Butter, shortening or margarine

1 cup Milk

1/2 cup Raisins, currants or mixed dried fruit

Preparation

1. Measure flour, baking powder and sugar into a mixing bowl. Cut the butter in with a pastry blender until the size of peas.

2. Beat in milk, egg and fruit until well incorporated.

3. Turn out onto a lightly floured board and pat to 1/2-inch thickness.

4. Cut out with a floured cutter into 2-inch rounds (or, using a sharp knife, cut into triangles, which is the traditional Scottish method).

5. Bake at 375 F for 12 to 15 minutes.

Cook's Notes

Great-grandma Hunt reports in her own hand, "This makes a good amount, freezes well and is nice with jam."
