Preparation:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
In food processor with fitted steel blade or a bowl with pastry blender, mix margarine and flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in baking powder, baking soda, sugar substitute, and salt to taste.
Stir in milk until dry ingredients are moistened. Stir in raisins and orange peel. Gather dough into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to uniform 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into rounds using a 2and1/2-inch cookie cutter, or using a floured knife, cut the scones into triangles. Place on cookie sheet well sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
Bake 7 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. |
