Organic No Salt Maple Raisin Scones
2 pounds of unbleached flour.
4 teaspoons of no salt baking soda
Juice from 2 medium lemons
2 teaspoons of lemon oil
1 cup of raisins
6 tablespoons of maple syrup
1 cup of whole milk
2 sticks of unsalted butter
2 large eggs
Directions:
​
Place the flour in a mixing bowl, add the baking soda and mix with your machines dough hook, by hand or with a hand whisk.
Add raisins and mix gently but thoroughly.
Add the milk, maple syrup, lemon juice, lemon oil and mix.
​
Preheat the oven to 425º
There's two ways to add the butter; both work equally well. The melted butter blends more easily. The grated butter forms pockets.
1. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over a low heat and then add it to the flour mixture. For this method, I recommend using the machine.
2. Using a cheese grater, simply grate in the two sticks of butter and mix by hand.
​
I use a pizza stone covered with a sheet of parchment paper, or you can use a cookie sheet.
Form the dough into the size scones you prefer, and bake for around 12 to 16 minutes. I prefer mine a little darker, so I bake them a tad longer.
