- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon, ground
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg, ground
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 6 tbs sugar
- 1/3 cup butter
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/2 cup raisins
In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and 5 tbs sugar. With a pastry blender or two knives, cut in the butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Reserve 2 tbs of beaten egg. Stir remaining egg, milk, and raisins into flour mixture. Turn out onto a lightly floured broad and knead about 6 times. Pat into a circle about 3/4 inch thick. Cut in 8 wedges and place slightly apart on a greased baking sheet.
Brush remaining egg over top of each wedge; then sprinkle with remaining 1 tbs sugar. Bake in 425 degree oven for 18-20 minutes, or until browned. Serve warm.
