Scones

Saturday, I decided to make scones. We finished them all and I might go for another round of scones day on Monday, but then again it depends on my mood.
 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 8 tablespoon of frozen butter
 use rub in method and mixture should resemble coarse meal
 add in 1/2 cup of raisin and 1/3 cup of sugar (I used raw brown sugar)

whisk together 1 egg and 1/2 cup of sour cream until smooth
make a well in the middle of the flour mix and add the egg and sour cream mixture using a fork 
use your hand to press the dough again the bowl into a ball, do not over kneed the dough.  Dough will be sticky at this moment, but that is ok 
place dough on a lightly floured table top
kneed dough slowly
pat dough to approximately 8-9 inch circle and about 1/2 inch thick.  
use a round cookie cutter and cut through dough, place on baking tray with cookie sheet and bake in the oven at 200 degree C for 15 to 20 minutes
let the scones rest for 5 minutes before serving
Nice...........................
