Steps:
- Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, mix flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Grate butter into flour mixture on the large holes of a box grater; use your fingers to work in butter (mixture should resemble coarse meal), then stir in raisins.
- In a small bowl, whisk sour cream and egg until smooth.
- Using a fork, stir sour cream mixture into flour mixture until large dough clumps form. Use your hands to press the dough against the bowl into a ball. (The dough will be sticky in places, and there may not seem to be enough liquid at first, but as you press, the dough will come together.)
- Place on a lightly floured surface and pat into a 7- to 8-inch circle about 3/4-inch thick. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tsp. of sugar. Use a sharp knife to cut into 8 triangles; place on a cookie sheet (preferably lined with parchment paper), about 1 inch apart. Bake until golden, about 15 to 17 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature.

CHEF JOHN'S SCONES
This recipe is very slightly adapted from one by someone called Friendlyfood on Allrecipes, who claims it was adapted from a version made at the Savoy Hotel in London. I have to say, I am very impressed. It was light, tender, moist and very delicious.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix first 5 ingredients in large bowl. Add butter; rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Make well in center of mixture. Add sour cream and vanilla to well. Using fork, stir sour cream mixture into dry mixture until dough forms. Turn out onto lightly floured surface. Sprinkle apricots over. Knead dough until apricots are incorporated, about 10 turns. Flatten dough into 8-inch round. Cut into 8 wedges.
- Transfer wedges to baking sheet. Brush with egg. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Use cold butter: Cold butter helps to create flaky scones. If your butter is too warm, it will melt and make the scones dense.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the scones tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking helps to develop the flavor and makes the scones easier to handle.
- Bake the scones in a hot oven: A hot oven helps to create a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.
- Serve the scones warm: Sour cream and fruit scones are best served warm, so they can be enjoyed at their peak of flavor.
Conclusion:
Sour cream and fruit scones are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of scones that will be sure to please everyone at your table.
