ENGLISH SCONES 
1 1/2 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 c. sugar
1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. black currants, raisins or chopped dates
1 beaten egg
Milk

Sift dry ingredients together. Cut in butter until it forms fine crumbs. Add fruit and mix well. Add beaten egg (saving 1 tablespoon to brush tops) and enough milk to form a soft dough. Do not knead. Form into two equal balls on cookie sheet and pat each into a 6 inch circle.

Score into 8 triangles each by pressing a large knife across the circle like spokes of a wheel. Brush tops with remaining egg. Do not separate. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until lightly brown. Delicious served with butter or jam.
