Recipe for Pilgrim Scones
The recipe for these scones is found in a community cookbook called “What’s Cooking at the Library?” sponsored by the Gwinnett County Public Library System. The cookbook is dedicated to the fight for the cure for cancer.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cup white flour
- 2 cups whole-wheat flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 cup buttermilk
Directions:
Mix dry ingredients and raisins together. In large bowl, mix egg, honey and buttermilk. Add flour mixture to egg mixture in 3 parts, alternating with melted butter. Make a big ball.
Cut into thirds. Make the thirds into flat balls. Cut these into fourths.
Place the cut pieces onto a greased baking sheet.
Bake them for 10 minutes at 425 degrees F. then lower to 350 degrees F. and bake until brown.
Cool the scones on a wire rack before serving.

Just made these–I love them. I used chopped walnuts instead of raisin and very lightly glazed with butter and powdered sugar mix. AWESOME!

Made them today with few substitutions due to lack of few ingredients and they still tasted good. Nice blog and thanks for all the info.
