Raisin Tea Cookies

Quickly prepared baked goods made from ingredients we usually always have in the pantry and fridge. This would be a very simple description of scones, the legendary cookies that the English so enjoy with a cup of tea or eat for breakfast with thick cream and jam.

Ingredients

350 g Wheat flour, white, multi-purpose
2 pinch Salt, table
1.75 teaspoons Baking powder
80 g Butter, unsalted
30 g Sugar, white
80 g Raisins
2 piece Egg, fresh
pieces Milk, whole milk

Steps

Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius. Line a low baking tray with parchment paper.
Sift the flour into a cooled bowl and mix it with baking powder and salt. Add the cold butter cut into pieces and quickly rub it into the dry ingredients with your fingertips, lifting the mixture to make it airy and crumbly. Add sugar and raisins and quickly mix everything together.
In a smaller bowl, beat the eggs well with a fork. Set aside two tablespoons, and pour the rest along with 100 ml of milk into the bowl. Quickly mix everything together with your hands and add enough cold milk to bring the ingredients together into a soft, but not sticky dough. If the dough is too soft and sticky, add a little more flour.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and quickly knead it. Then roll it out to about 2 cm thick. Using a round cutter (4 to 6 cm in diameter), cut out circles from the dough and carefully place them on the baking tray. Before baking, brush the tops with the reserved beaten egg. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes.
When the cookies have risen and the tops are nicely golden brown, remove the tray from the oven and let the cookies cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with butter, thick cream (or sour cream) and jam.
