We like the rustic look of scones in general, and these, in particular. They are just plain inviting-rich brown in color and shot through with lots of dark raisins, some of which poke through the top. The small amount of whole-wheat flour adds a hint of nutty flavor. A drizzle of honey makes these especially good.
You can also serve them for lunch or at tea. Halve and top the scones with thinly sliced prosciutto or shavings of manchego cheese two possibilities, among lots of others, that play nicely off the sweetness of all those raisins.
