Servings: persons

2 cups flour, all-purpose
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg ground
8 tablespoons butter cold unsalted, cut up
1 cup raisins, seedless
2 tablespoons sugar
1 large egg yolks
3/4 cup buttermilk or yogurt, plain
1 large egg whites
1 x sugar for sprinkling

1
Heat oven to 375F (190C).
2
Put flour, baking powder, soda, nutmeg, and salt into a large bowl.
3
Stir to mix well.
4
Add butter and cut in with a pastry blender or rub in with your fingers, until the mixture looks like fine granules.
5
Add raisins and sugar; toss to distribute evenly.
6
Add egg yolk to buttermilk in a measuring cup and whisk with a fork to blend.
7
Pour over the flour mixture and stir with a fork until a soft dough forms.
8
Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and give 10 to 12 kneads.
9
Cut dough in half.
10
Knead each half briefly into a ball; turn smooth side up and pat into a 6 inch circle.
11
Cut in 6 wedges, but do not separate wedges.
12
In a small bowl, beat the egg white with a fork until just broken up.
13
Brush to top of each scone with the egg white, and sprinkle lightly with sugar.
14
With a pancake turner, carefully transfer the two cut circles to an ungreased cookie sheet.
15
If necessary, reshape circles so that the 6 wedges in each are touching.
16
This will keep the raisins from burning.
17
Bake 18 to 22 minutes or until medium brown.
18
Cool on a wire rack.
19
After 5 minutes pull the wedges apart and cover loosely with a dish towel.
