the north fork and its scones

INGREDIENTS

• 2 3/4 cup pastry flour (all-purpose is also fine)
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder*
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 6 ounces of butter, in 1/2-inch cubes
• 1 cup golden raisins plus 1 tablespoon caraway seeds -or- 1 cup fresh fruit of your choice, chopped (I used raspberries)
• 3/4 to 1 cup buttermilk (use the smaller amount if using fresh fruit, the larger if using the raisin-caraway combo)
