Sieve flour and salt into a bowl. Rub in the butter with your fingers or a pastry blender. Add the sugar, baking powder and raisins and mix together well.

Add the milk and mix into a loose dough. Turn onto a floured board and knead until smooth (about 10 times). Roll out; cut the dough in half, then into quarters and then into eighths. Place on a lightly floured baking sheet, then brush the top of each scone with milk and sprinkle with sugar.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. When done, transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Irish Omelet

6 small eggs, separated
4 medium size potatoes, cooked and mashed

Heat the butter in an omelet pan.

Whisk the egg whites until stiff and stir them into the potato mixture. Cook the mixture until it turns golden, then run under the broiler to finish.
