Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1/3 cup pakced brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4-1 teaspoon ground ginger ( to your taste)
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
6 tablespoons chilled butter
1/4 cup milk
1 eggs
3 tablespoons molasses
1 teaspoon vanilla
2/3 cup raisins
cinnamon sugar

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375.
If using a baking stone, place in oven now.
Mix dry ingredients together.
Add butter and blend using a pastry blender until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs (alternatively, do this step in a food processor).
In a separate bowl, beat together milk, egg, molasses and vanilla.
Add flour mixture and raisins to the milk mixture.
Stir gently, just until dough forms.
Form dough into a ball.
On a lightly floured surface, pat dough into a 1 inch thick round.
Cut into 8 wedges.
Pour cinnamon sugar into a shallow bowl.
Press tops of wedges into cinnamon sugar.
Place wedges on baking stone or on a greased baking sheet.
Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes.
NOTE: Scones in general do not rise much and will come out dense, but not hard. Do not expect them to have the same texture as muffins or biscuits.
