Simple Rasin Scones

Scones are a cross between small cakes and biscuits and are very good for breakfast or afternoon tea. Making scones is very easy, and kids can get involved in making them. I found this raisin scone recipe from an old community cookbook. Most of the recipes in this book come from groups of small town people getting together and sharing their recipes passed down from generation to generation. I tested this recipe and scaled it down to a smaller size for individuals who enjoy making scones for themselves.
Ingredients:
Dry ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup frozen butter
2 tbs sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 cup raisins or any dry fruit
Wet ingredients
1 egg
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla

Directions:
Combine all the dry ingredients except the frozen butter. Grate the frozen butter into the dry ingredients.

In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg, sour cream, and vanilla. Pour mixture into the dry ingredients.

 Mix until just combined. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead briefly. Roll dough or pat down into a rectangular or circular shape.

 Cut dough into 4 pieces.

Place scones onto a lightly greased baking pan and bake in preheated oven set to 375° for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
