Steps:
- 1. NOTE: Castor sugar is finer that US granulated sugar (regular table sugar), but not as fine as powdered sugar. You can make it by putting regular sugar in a food processor for a few moments.
- 2. Mix all dry ingredients together in a very large bowl.
- 3. Add eggs, buttermilk, butter and fruit. Lightly knead into a dough-like consistency.
- 4. Roll out to 1 inch thickness and cut with a fluted cutter. Bake at 340F for 10-12 minutes.
- 5. My note: I think you could easily use any type of dried fruit in place of the raisins. The hotel we stayed at had really great fruit scones. I think dried apricots, dried cherries, golden raisins or a mix of any of these.

Tips:
- To ensure light and fluffy scones, make sure to use cold butter and buttermilk. Cold butter will create pockets of steam as it bakes, resulting in a flaky texture. Buttermilk adds a slight tanginess and helps to keep the scones moist.
- Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in tough scones. Mix the dough just until it comes together, then gently shape it into a circle.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the scones. A sharp knife will help to create clean, even cuts, which will help the scones to rise evenly.
- Bake the scones until they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking the scones will dry them out.
Conclusion:
These buttermilk raisin scones are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon snack. With their flaky texture, tangy flavor, and sweet raisins, these scones are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
