Ingredients
 
 

  • 175 g plain flour
  • 50 g caster sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • Pinch nutmeg
  • Pinch salt
  • 50 g butter (I used dairy free butter)
  • 100 g grated carrot
  • 100 g raisins/sultanas optional
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk (I used oat milk)

Instructions
 

  • Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper. Preheat the oven to 180°C(fan)/200°C/gas mark 6/400°F.
  • Mix together 175g plain flour with 50g caster sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, a pinch of nutmeg and a pinch of salt.
  • Rub in 50g butter (either with your finger tips or in a food processor) until you have the consistency of breadcrumbs.
  • Stir through 100g grated carrot and 100g raisins (if using).
  • Slowly mix in 2-3 tablespoons of milk, stirring with a wooden spoon until it comes together into a rough dough.
  • Either roll out your dough onto a lightly floured surface and use a pastry cutter to cut into 6 rounds, or scrape out the dough with lightly floured hands and press into six scone shapes.
  • Push the raisins into the dough if they are sticking out. This is to prevent them from burning.
  • Place each scone onto the prepared baking tray and bake in the pre-heated oven for 15 minutes or until well risen and golden brown.
  • Allow to cool on a wire cooling rack for a few minutes and enjoy warm, perhaps spread with some extra butter.
  • Once cooled store in an airtight container for 1-2 days.
