Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.33 cups sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons baking soda
• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter , frozen
• 0.5 cups raisins or dried currants
• 0.5 cups sour cream
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon white sugar

Instructions

1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
2. 2 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C); adjust the oven rack to the lower-middle position. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
3. 3 Mix flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Grate butter into flour mixture on the large holes of a box grater. Use your fingers to work in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, then toss in raisins.
4. 4 Whisk sour cream and egg together in a small bowl until combined.
5. 5 Stir sour cream mixture into flour mixture using a fork until large dough clumps form. Use your hands to shape dough into a ball. (Dough may seem dry at first but will come together as you work it.)
6. 6 Place dough on a lightly floured surface and pat into a 7 to 8-inch circle, about 3/4-inch thick. Sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon of sugar.
7. 7 Use a sharp knife to cut into 8 equal triangles; place on the prepared baking tray, about 1-inch apart.
8. 8 Bake scones in the preheated oven until golden, about 15 to 17 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes; serve warm or at room temperature.
9. 9 Serve and enjoy!
