Who doesn’t love scones made with butter and sour cream? The key to success with this version: start with frozen butter! I creates a dough with winning texture.

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 7 tbsp frozen butter
• 1/2 cup raisins

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In medium bowl mix flours, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Grate butter (on large holes)into flour mixture. Work in butter (mixture should be course meal). Stir in raisins.

In a small bowl whisk sour cream and egg until smooth.

Using a fork stir sour cream mixture into flour. Use your hands to press the dough against the side of the bowl into a ball.

Place on a lightly floured surface and pat into a 7-8" circle. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tsp of sugar.

Use sharp knife and cut into 8 triangles. Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
