Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 0.5 cup raisins
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and sugar until well combined.
Step 3
Add the chilled, cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
Stir in the raisins to distribute evenly throughout the flour mixture.
Step 5
In a small bowl, beat the egg with a fork, then add the milk and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.
Step 6
Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to gently stir until a rough dough forms.
Step 7
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead very lightly and briefly until it just comes together. Do not over-knead; the dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
Step 8
Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Use a floured round cutter to cut out scones, or slice the circle into 8 wedges for a more rustic appearance.
Step 9
Place the cut scones onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 11
Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.
