Orange and Raisin Scones

These lovely orange and raisin scones make an excellent easy breakfast. These scones are sweet without being loaded with sugar thanks to the sweetness of the orange zest.

They're so easy to bake and cook in less than 15 minutes.

As you can see by the picture, Izzie was ready to tuck in.

Orange and Raisin Scones 

Makes 6 scones.

Ingredients:

110 g plain Flour
1 tbsp Baking powder
30 g Sugar (we used Coconut Palm Sugar)
Pinch of Salt
30 g Coconut Oil
1 Orange grated rind
1/4 cup Raisins
1/4 Cream (we used Oat Cream), plus a bit more to glaze


Preparation:

Pre-heat the oven to 220ºC.

Sift the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into a bowl. Rub in the oil until the mixture has the texture of breadcrumbs.

Add the orange ring and raisins and mix evenly. Then add the cream until you have a soft dough.

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until it's about 2 cm thick and use a large cookie cutter or glass to cut out rounds of around 6 cm diameter.

Place on baking sheet and glaze with cream. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden.
