Delicious Scones Recipe

Ingredients
All-purpose flour (2 cups)
Sugar (1/3rd cup)
Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
Raisins (1/2 cup)
Sour cream (1/2 cup)
Baking powder (1 teaspoon)
Baking soda (1/4th teaspoon)
Large egg (1)
Unsalted butter – frozen (8 tablespoons)

Preparation
Preheat the oven to 400° F but before you do so, you need to adjust the oven rack to a middle position. Take a medium bowl and mix flour with baking powder, baking soda and the 1/3rd cup of sugar. Sprinkle with some salt as per the taste required. Then, grate butter in the flour mixture. Blend this well, till it forms a coarse mixture. Now, add the raisins as well. Your next step would be to mix the egg with sour cream in a bowl. Blend well, till it turns into a smooth mixture.

Now, you need to stir the sour cream mixture into the flour mixture prepared earlier. Knead this dough and shape it into a ball. Next, place it on a lightly floured surface. Pat the dough so that it forms an 8-inch circle. Sprinkle a teaspoon of sugar above this. Now, cut the circle into 8 triangular shapes. These triangles should be placed an inch apart on a cookie sheet. Bake these till they turn golden brown. Serve warm with a hot cup of tea!
