Breakfast Scones

This is an excellent and easy recipe for Scones. I found the original recipe on Allrecipes.com and made a couple changes.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2 c flour
1/3 c sugar
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon

 8 TBSP unsalted butter-cold
1/2 c raisins
1/2 c sour cream
1 large egg

Mix dry ingredients together in large bowl. Grate the butter into flour mixture. Use your fingers to work in the butter. (Mixture should resemble coarse meal ) . Mix in raisins.

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

Use a fork to stir sour cream/egg mixture  into flour mixture until a large dough clump forms. (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 or pizza cutter 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.               

Orange/Cranberry Scones-- Replace raisins with fresh chopped or dried cranberries and 1 1/2tsp orange zest.
