mix dry ingredients in a bowl. cut in butter as with a pie crust.
add egg, milk and fruit to dry ingredients; mix until dough holds together.
heat griddle until drops of water dance on the surface, then oil lightly. cook like pancakes, until brown on the first side, then flip to brown on the second side. cookies will be firm when done; if brown but still doughy you may need to flip them once or twice more.
serving size: 1/18 of a recipe (2.6 ounces).
any soft dry fruit will work in place of raisins.
