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.

You may avail of the scones: Fresh (on pre-order) or Frozen ( Express delivery to Metro Manila / Available for Nationwide locations)

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.

Storage Instructions

For your Fresh Scones:

Madge’s Scones are baked fresh on the morning of your scheduled delivery and sent out at peak softness — tender, crumbly, and golden-topped. They arrive at room temperature and are ready to serve or store.

• Refrigerate: Keep in their packing or transfer to an airtight container. Best enjoyed within 2–3 days from the date of arrival.
• Freeze: If not enjoying right away, place them in the freezer as soon as possible. They’re suitable for freezing for up to 2 months, but we recommend freezing within 24 hours of arrival to lock in their delicate texture.

To serve, you may enjoy them as-is or warm gently in the oven or toaster oven for 5–7 minutes at 160°C (320°F) to bring back their just-baked charm. Best served with butter, jam, clotted cream — or all of the above.

For your Frozen Scones:

Madge’s Scones are frozen on the same day they’re baked to preserve their freshly-baked goodness. Here’s how to bring them back to life:

• Oven Method (Recommended): Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Place frozen scones on a baking tray and heat for 10–12 minutes until warm and lightly crisp on the outside. Let cool slightly before serving.
• Toaster Oven Method: Place a frozen scone on a tray or foil and heat at 160°C (320°F) for 8–10 minutes.
• Microwave Method: Wrap a single frozen scone in a paper towel and microwave on medium for 30–45 seconds. Note: This softens the scone but won’t give a crisp top. You may finish with a quick toast if desired.
• Room Temperature Thaw (Cold Option): Some people like their scones cold. To achieve this, thaw overnight in the fridge. Once thawed, they’re ready to eat. For best texture, thaw uncovered or loosely wrapped to avoid moisture buildup.
