    Title: Orange Raisin Scones
    Categories: Scones
    Yield: 12 Scones

    1 1/2 c All-purpose flour
    1 1/2 c Whole wheat pastry or
    - whole spelt flour
    1/3 c Cane sugar
    1 tb Baking powder
    1 tb Orange rind; finely grated
    1 c Thompson raisins or
    - dried currants

    MMMMM----------------------VEGAN VARIATION---------------------------
    2/3 c Vegetable spread; cold
    2 tb Lemon juice
    1/2 c Almond milk; unsweetened
    1 Orange; juice of
    1 tb Ground flax seed

    MMMMM--------------------VEGETARIAN VARIATION-------------------------
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/2 c Unsalted butter; cold
    1/2 c Buttermilk
    2 Eggs; beaten
    1 Orange; juice of

    Total time: 40 minutes

    Preheat oven to 375?F. Place raisins or currants in a bowl, cover
    with boiling water for 5 minutes, then drain into a colander and set
    aside. Combine dry ingredients.

    Vegan:

    Combine almond milk, lemon juice, and orange juice to make 1-1/4 cups
    liquid. Stir in ground flax seed.

    Vegetarian:

    Combine buttermilk, eggs, and orange juice to make 1-1/4 cups liquid.

    Grate orange rind into the dry ingredients. Cut in butter or vegetable
    spread with a pastry blender until the mixture is mealy. Add the
    raisins or currants, and liquid, mix together to make a soft dough.
    Dough can even be sticky. Knead dough lightly for 5 minutes on a
    floured surface until it forms a ball. Divide and pat into two 6"
    rounds and slice each into 6 wedges. Arrange on baking sheet and bake
    for 20 to 25 minutes, middle of the oven, until lightly browned.
    Slide onto a rack to cool for a few minutes.

    Tips:

    Easy and flexible to make. Just add a little water if the dough is
    very stiff, and a bit more flour if it seems too sticky. You'll need
    a cookie sheet to bake them on.

    Omit the salt if you use salted butter or vegetable spread.
