Scones

So today I am watching the television, my kids are home from school for the day. I'm thinking I should bake something. I decided on making some scones. Well I have a tried and tested recipe, but I decided to try another scone recipe to see how it bakes up.

I found that it was very sticky so I would say reduce the milk quantity from 2/3 cup to 1/2 cup or add the milk a little at a time just in case you don't need as much.

Outside of that change the recipe was ok. But I forgot to add the raisins. You know scones are not sweet, so not having the raisins means you need to add jam or jelly to give it that extra something.
I did however, sprinkle a little sugar on the tops. That did help quite a bit.

Here is a pic below and I will share the recipe as well with my changes.
