How to Make Best Buttermilk Raisin Scones
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ cup granulated sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted margarine using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk and 1 cup raisins.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter should be slightly sticky but not wet.
- Drop by large rounded spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each scone.
- Sprinkle the tops of the scones with coarse sugar (optional).
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving with strawberry jam and Devonshire cream.
