- 1/2 Cup raisins (or other berries or fruit)
- Butter melted, as needed

Instructions
- Mix the flour, baking powder, butter, and sugar together in a bowl, until the mixture looks like crumbs.

- Gently brush butter on top of the scones.
- Bake in a preheated oven (350 degrees F or 180 degrees C) for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool before serving with cream cheese or clotted cream and strawberry jam.
