Easy Fruit Scones (kid-friendly)
These kid-friendly fruit scones are easy to prepare and with just a few simple ingredients. Serve them with jam, cream cheese or a nut butter whilst warm. Perfect for snacking, as a treat and for lunchboxes. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (400gr)
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1 cup milk
- ⅓ stick butter (75gr)
- ½ cup raisins (100gr)
- 1 egg (for brushing)
Instructions
- In a bowl, add the flour, baking powder. Mix to combine.
- Cut the cold butter into cubes and add it to the bowl. Use your fingertips to rub the butter with the flour, until it resembles breadcrumbs. Alternatively, you could use a food processor.
- Add the coconut sugar and mix to combine.
- Add the milk and gently mix with a spatula or your hands until it becomes dough.
- Add the raisins and mix to combine.
- Sprinkle some flour on the counter or a wooden board. Place the dough on top and stretch the dough with hands vertically. Then roll and fold 2–3 times. Repeat one more time.
- Form the dough into a ball using both your hands, forming a big cup. Then using a rolling pin, open the dough into a round shape about 1" / 2.5cm thickness.
- Using a 2" cutter (or 3" for bigger ones) cut the dough into circles by pressing all the way down but NOT twisting. Lift the cutter and gently press down to release the scone if it's stuck.
- Place the scones on a lined baking tray. Form the remaining dough into a ball without kneading it too much and lay flat again with the rolling pin. Use the cutter to shape the rest of the scones.
- In a bowl, beat the egg with a tablespoon of water. Brush the scones with the eggwash.
- Bake in a preheated oven to 400℉ / 200℃ for 12–14 minutes.

Notes
- Leave out the coconut sugar if you are making the fruit scones for babies under 12 months.
