Time 40m

Yield 14 to16 scones

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups plus 1 tablespoon flour
2 tablespoons sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
3/4 pound cold unsalted butter, diced
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup cold heavy cream
3/4 cup raisins
1 extra-large egg beaten with 2 tablespoons milk or water, for egg wash

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Combine 4 cups flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, the baking powder, and salt in an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Blend in the cold butter at the lowest speed and mix until the butter is in pea-sized pieces. Combine the eggs and heavy cream and quickly add to the flour/butter mixture. Combine until just blended. Combine the raisins and 1 tablespoon flour and then add to the dough and mix quickly. The dough may be a bit sticky.
  • Dump the dough out onto a floured surface and be sure it is well combined. Flour your hands and a rolling pin and roll the dough out to 3/4-inch to 1-inch thick. You will see lumps of butter in the dough. Cut into squares with a 4-inch cutter and then cut in half diagonally to make triangles. Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Brush the scones with the egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the outsides are crisp and the insides are done.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect flaky texture, handle the dough as little as possible and work quickly to avoid overworking it.
  • Use cold butter and buttermilk to keep the scones light and airy. If using unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt to the dough.
  • Use a sharp knife or pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour mixture. This will help create even pieces of butter that will melt and create steam pockets during baking.
  • Do not overmix the dough. Overmixing will result in tough scones.
  • Chill the scones before baking. This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the scones in a hot oven until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Serve the scones warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, jam, or cream.

Conclusion:

With these tips in mind, you can easily create delicious and fluffy raisin scones that are perfect for any occasion. Whether you are enjoying them for breakfast, brunch, or a snack, these scones are sure to be a hit. So gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to bake a batch of these delectable treats!
