Drop Scones

These scones are soooooooo delicious and simple to make. I sent some to my brother in Iraq and all his soldiers loved them!!! These are great because they're not overly sweet, but completely delicious.

1. Preheat oven to 450. Grease or spray a large cookie sheet.
2. Stir together dry ingredients including the sugar. Cut butter into flour mixture. Add raisins (or whatever you use), stir to mix well.
3. Beat egg in measuring cup. Add milk to make 1 cup. Stir into flour.
