      1 c  King Arthur unbleached
           -all-purpose
    1/2 c  Sugar
      2 ts Baking powder
      3 tb Butter or margarine
    1/2 c  Raisins; see * Note

Instructions

* Note: If you have the time, plump the raisins in milk and then drain
them.

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
Combine the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Rub in the butter or
margarine with your fingertips. Add the raisins, egg, and lemon extract.
"Mush it up and add just enough milk to make it soft, but not too sticky,"
were Mrs. Humphries' original directions.
Drop BIG tablespoons of the batter onto a greased cookie sheet. Sprinkle
the top with sugar if you want a sweet finished scone. Bake for 12 to 15
minutes, depending on size. This recipe yields 8 to 10 scones.

Comments: Mrs. Humphries was an elderly English woman who lived in a
little pink house. Her scones are rich and delicious.
