Ingredients
Makes 12 scones
Step 1
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Add the butter and use your fingers to pinch the butter and the flour mixture together; when it's all combined, it will resemble large bread crumbs.
Step 2
2. Use a wooden spoon to mix in the brown sugar and raisins, and then add the buttermilk. If the dough is quite sticky, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough has the texture of modeling clay. If it's too dry, add more buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it's wet enough.
Step 3
3. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and roll it out into a rectangle 1/4 inch thick. Cut the dough into 12 (3-inch) squares. Leftover scraps can be rerolled to make more scones.
Step 4
4. Oil a baking sheet. Fold each square of dough in half diagonally to form a triangle, and lay it on the sheet. Bake the scones until the tops are golden brown, about 30 minutes. Serve warm, with jam and a pot of hot tea if you like.

Back to Topgood. I cut them into 18 squares and they took over 30 mins to brown added chopped candied ginger and dried cranberries instead of raising

These were heavier than white flour scones, as you'd expect -- but I liked them a lot. I ran out of brown sugar and only used about 3/4 c, which turned out to be about right; I think a whole cup would be too sweet. I also subbed soy milk with vinegar for the buttermilk since that's what I had, and that worked out fine. Also, I ended up with about 18 normal-looking-to-me-sized scones instead of 12.
