Welcome the season with the comforting fragrance of fresh baked cinnamon and raisin scones. 🍁

Your family will love waking up to the fragrance of freshly baked scones. Jo’s scone recipe from her first cookbook is also an easy and tempting treat for holiday guests. Serve at Thanksgiving brunch or in your party charcuterie with jam and warm drinks.

Cinnamon and Raisin Scones

Yield: 6-8 servings

Ingredients:

1½ cups unbleached flour
1½ cups whole wheat pastry flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
5 tablespoons sugar, we use turbinado
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
8 tablespoons margarine, we use Earth Balance® brand
½ cup currants or raisins
1 cup soy milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl.
3. With a pastry cutter, cut in the margarine until well blended.
4. Add the raisins or currants.
5. Make a well in the center of the dry mix, pour in the soy milk and lemon juice and quickly mix by hand. The batter should be sticky.
6. Pour it out onto a floured board or counter top and knead lightly 1 minute.
7. Let the batter rest a few minutes, then roll out with a rolling pin to 1½-inch thickness. Cut with a cookie or biscuit cutter.
8. Line a baking sheet with parchment and bake the scones for about 15 to 25 minutes, until firm and browned on the bottom.️
