 Ingredients List

  • 2 1/4 c Flour
  • 2 tb Sugar
  • 1 tb Baking powder
  • 1/2 ts Baking soda
  • 1/2 ts Salt
  • 3/4 c Raisins; (optional)
  • 4 tb Cold butter; (unsalted)
  • 1 lg Egg
  • 2/3 c Buttermilk; (+more if
  • -needed)
  • 1 Egg white; Beat with 1 tsp.
  • -water
  • 2 ts Sugar

 Directions

Preheat oven to 425 deg. F. In a medium size bowl, combine flour, sugar,
baking powder, baking soda and salt stir well. Cut in butter until
mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center and mix in the
raisins.

Beat together the egg and the buttermilk. Pour into the well. Stir with a
fork, adding more buttermilk if necessary to make a sticky but manageable
dough.

Gently gather dough into a ball and turn out onto a floured surface. Knead
lightly. Divide the dough into two equal portions. Flatten each part into a
3/4-inch thick circle. With a sharp floured knife, cut each circle into six
wedges and arrange on a buttered baking sheet. Brush tops with egg wash and
sprinkle with sugar.

Bake 12-15 minutes or until tops are light golden.

Split open while hot, spread with jam and top with a mixture of whipped
cream and sour cream.
