Ingredients:





     3 c  All-purpose flour


 2 1/2 ts Baking powder


     1 c  Golden yellow brown sugar,


          -(not dark brown)


     1 c  Butter or margarine


     1 c  Raisins


     1 c  Milk






 In a large bowl stir together flour, baking powder and sugar. Cut in butter


 until the mixture is like coarse meal. Mix raisins evenly through dry


 ingredients. Add milk and stir until sticky dough forms. Divide dough into


 3 equal portions. With floured hands and on a floured surface, pat each


 into a circle about 3/4 to 1 inch thick. With a sharp knife, cut each dough


 circle into 6 wedges. Place on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375 F and


 bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the centre of one comes


 out clean.


 


 Note: I find that sometimes a little more or a little less milk may be


 needed, probably related to the moisture content of the flour. Leave space


 between these since they tend to spread a little while baking.
