Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 0.5 cup Raisins
• 1 unit Egg, large
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the raisins to evenly distribute them throughout the mixture.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir just until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, drop mounds of dough (about 1/4 cup each) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.

Step 10

Serve warm with butter, jam, or clotted cream. Enjoy!
