  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon baking soda

  • 0.5 cup raisins (or dried currants)
  • 0.5 cup sour cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
Instructions:

  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Grate butter into the mixture using a box grater, then use your fingers to blend it in until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Add in the raisins.
  • Combine sour cream and egg in a small bowl and whisk until smooth.

  • Transfer the dough onto a dusted surface and shape it into a 7 to 8-inch circle, 3/4-inch thick. Sprinkle with the remaining teaspoon of sugar.
  • Cut the mixture into 8 equal triangles using a sharp knife, then arrange them on the baking tray, ensuring they are spaced about 1-inch apart.
  • Bake scones in the preheated oven until golden, for about 15 to 17 minutes. Let them cool for 5 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.
  • Indulge and savor!
