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.
