Cinnamon Scones

Ok, so a few years back Simple and Delicious came out with a general scone recipe, and you could add to it whatever you'd like to make different flavors. There was a Raisin Cinnamon version that caught my eye. . .minus the raisins. I like raisins, but not in baked goods. It just grosses me out. It's the idea of a chunky chewy thing in my food. So when I made these, I omitted the raisins. When Dave came home from work he grabbed one right away and gobbled it right up. Said it was "so good!" Then, he said, "The only thing that could make these better is raisins." Ugh. I guess next time we do half with, and half without.
