Raisin Scones - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup raisins (optional)
1/4 cup shortening
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup milk

Preparation

Put the first six ingredients in a large bow.
Mix with 1 cup milk.
(Try not to handle too much. You may need a tiny bit more milk but you don't want sticky dough.) Pat on a floured board and shape into a circle.
Then cut in diamond shapes.
