Ingredients
- 4 ⅔ cups(1lb 8oz/680 g) self-raising flour
- ¾ cup (6 oz/170 g) Butter, frozen
- ½ cup (4 oz/115 g) granulated sugar
- 3 level teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup (5 oz/142 g) raisins
- 2 large eggs (beaten)
- 1 ¼ cup (10 fl oz/300 ml) whole milk
Notes
- BAKE TIME: In the video, I said 12 minutes, but to get them really golden brown you will want to bake for longer. I ended up baking for over 20 minutes — but due to differences in ovens and elevations, your timing may vary! Just keep an eye for the perfect color.
