Mix in the sugar and raisins.
Break the eggs into a measuring jug and beat it lightly then add enough milk to make up 300ml.
Pour the milk and egg into the bowl with the flour and mix with a metal spoon or knife until it forms a soft dough.
Sprinkle some flour onto the work surface and knead the dough gently for a minute until it is smooth.
Roll the dough out to about 1.5cm thick. Then use a round biscuit cutter to cut out the scones. Put them on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake in the oven at 200°C for about 10 minutes.
Cool the scones on a wire rack and serve with butter and jam. Or jam and cream.
