Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 tablespoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold
- 0.75 cup raisins
- 0.75 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined.
Step 3
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
Stir in the raisins until they are evenly distributed in the flour and butter mixture.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, mix the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and the egg together until well combined.
Step 6
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 7
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Step 8
Pat the dough into a circle about 1-inch thick. Use a sharp knife to cut the circle into 8 wedges.
Step 9
Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each scone.
Step 10
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden and cooked through.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your sugar-free classic raisin scones!
