2 c flour
2 T sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking sode
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 c butter
1 c raisins (or currants – we tend to use the latter)
3/4 c buttermilk (or cheat with milk and vinegar and heat, if you need to)
1 egg white, for glaze
sugar, for glaze

Combine:  flour, sugar, salt, powder, nutmeg
Cut in butter.  Mix in fruit, then buttermilk.  Knead.  Roll or pat out 3/4″ thick.  Cut into triangles.  Brush with egg white.  Sprinkle with sugar.  Bake 15 minutes at 425.  (I had a bit of a temperature issue last time I cooked them, not sure whether or not that was our stove.)
