Personal Notes:
YOU CAN ADD DIFFERENT THINGS TO THIS DOUGH. INSTEAD OF RAISINS, ANY DICED DRIED FRUIT, NUTS, FLAVORINGS and HERBS. LIKE LEMON OR ANISE. I REALLY LIKE THESE TO GO WITH MY MORNING COFFEE. INSTEAD OF MAKING THE WEDGES,CAN CUT WITH A BISCUIT CUTTER. ALSO CAN DRIBBLE CONFECTIONER ICING OVER THE SCONES IF YOU WANT TO DRESS THEM UP. FOUND THIS RECIPE ON THE INTERNET.
WHEN YOU FIRST START WORKING WITH DOUGH, IT WILL BE CRUMBLY BUT KEEP MASHING AND MIXING BY HAND UNTIL IT COMES TOGETHER. ENJOY.
