Madge’s Raisin Scones

Tasting notes of the Curator

These Raisin Scones are soft-centered with lightly crisped edges, their humble dough enriched with the gentle chew and natural sweetness of raisins and golden sultanas. The base is familiar and honest — a simple blend of flour, butter, milk, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt — but it’s the fruit that lifts them. Every bite is tender, semi-sweet, and subtly fragrant, with juicy little bursts from the plump raisins and sultanas. The crumb is firm yet giving — easy to pull apart, perfect to enjoy as-is or with a swipe of butter. These scones are less about indulgence and more about comfort — the kind of thing your lola might wrap in a towel to keep warm for merienda. Best served warm, but just as satisfying straight from the bag, they’re a reminder that the simplest bakes often leave the biggest impression.

Pairings and Suggestions

• Classic Teatime: Serve warm with butter and a spoonful of jam or marmalade.
• Enjoy Cold: Their soft, fruity texture makes them great for on-the-go snacks or packed lunches.
• Sweet Companion: Add honey or a touch of cream cheese for a richer flavor profile.
• With a Brew: Pair with black teas like English Breakfast or Darjeeling, or even a warm chai latte.
• Toasted Next Day: Slice and toast with butter for a golden-edged, gently caramelized treat.

A Scone That Feels Like Home

Raisins and sultanas have long been beloved additions to baked goods across cultures — symbols of sweetness, simplicity, and home. In Madge’s kitchen, they’re folded generously into every batch by hand, lending depth and heart to a recipe that doesn’t need embellishment. These are scones made the old, classic way: no preservatives, no shortcuts, just care and rhythm. Whether served at tea with guests or unwrapped for a quiet solo snack, Madge’s Raisin Scones bring with them a whisper of warm kitchens, buttered plates, and the kind of food that makes you feel looked after.
