Title: Robb's Oatmeal Raisin Scones
Categories: Breads
Yield: 18 Scones

4 c All-purpose flour
1/3 c Sugar
1 3/4 ts Baking powder
1 ts Baking soda
1 ts Salt
2 Sticks butter, chilled
3 c Rolled oats
1 c Raisins

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a
large bowl. Cut the cold butter into small pieces and add to the flour
mixture. Use either your fingers or a pastry cutter to rub or cut the
butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add the
oats and raisins, tossing or stirring with a fork until you can gather the
dough into a rough ball.

Sprinkle a board with flour and put the dough on it. Knead 6 or 7 times.
Divide the dough into 3 equal parts. Pat each part into a circle and 1/2
inch thick. Cut each circle into wedges. Put the wedges on ungreased baking
sheets 1/2 inch apart. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the scones are
lightly browned. Serve warm.
