Directions

1

Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease a baking sheet. Combine flour, sugar, salt and baking powder in a large bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2

Add raisins to flour mixture; mix well. Add egg and milk; stir with a fork until mixture forms a soft dough.
3

Pat dough into a circle about 1/2 inch thick, adding flour if necessary to prevent sticking.
4

Cut dough into rounds with a floured 2-inch biscuit cutter. Arrange scones on prepared baking sheet. Bake until tops are golden, about 15 minutes. Let scones cool 1 minute. Remove from sheet.
