Buttermilk Cinnamon Scones with Raisins
2 c all purpose flour
1/4 c sugar
1 c buttermilk
1 tbsp baking powder
3 tbsp butter -- melted
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c raisins
1/2 c packed brown sugar
1/4 c flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
4 tbsp butter -- cold, cut into 1/4" cubes
Heat oven to 425F.
In a food processor, pulse together flour, brown sugar, and butter until it resembles a coarse meal.
Place flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl and whisk together. Stir in raisins. Add buttermilk and melted butter and mix together with a fork. You may need to add a bit more buttermilk -- about a tablespoon -- to get it all to come together. But be careful not to make the dough too wet.
Turn dough out on a generously floured board and knead lightly about 1/2 dozen times. Pat dough out into an 7" x 9" square. Sprinkle half of the rectangle with the cinnamon mixture leaving edges bare. Fold uncovered half over and press edges to seal. Pat out into 7" x 9" rectangle again, fold again, and pat out again.
Cut into 6 cakes and arrange on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in center of oven for 12 to 15 minutes until browned. Serve warm.
Note: Handle dough gently to avoid too much gluten formation.
