Its a public holiday here in Rwanda, and we decided a day off of work was a good day to try a new recipe. These are basically stove top scones.
I got this recipe out of the cook book we have, many of the recipes I found online included an egg, so add that if you want.
We didn't have shortening, so I used butter and took out the salt.
Combine:
1 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
Cut in:
1/4 cup shortening
Add:
1/4 cup raisins or craisins (Cinnamon or almonds would probably be a tasty thing to try, too)
2-4 Tablespoons milk, enough to hold the batter together. (you could just use water probably)
Knead it all together, then make small cakes about 2 inches across and 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Put them on a hot floured skilled on low heat. Cook until crusty brown on one side, then turn. You can sprinkle them with powdered sugar at the end if you like.
