RAISIN SCONES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Combine 4 cups flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, the baking powder, and salt in an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Blend in the cold butter at the lowest speed and mix until the butter is in pea-sized pieces. Combine the eggs and heavy cream and quickly add to the flour/butter mixture. Combine until just blended. Combine the raisins and 1 tablespoon flour and then add to the dough and mix quickly. The dough may be a bit sticky.
- Dump the dough out onto a floured surface and be sure it is well combined. Flour your hands and a rolling pin and roll the dough out to 3/4-inch to 1-inch thick. You will see lumps of butter in the dough. Cut into squares with a 4-inch cutter and then cut in half diagonally to make triangles. Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the scones with the egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the outsides are crisp and the insides are done.

WHOLE-WHEAT BUTTERMILK SCONES WITH RAISINS AND OATMEAL
You may be accustomed to the gigantic, sweet scones in coffee shops in this country. They are nothing like the diminutive, light scones that originated in Britain and Ireland. This is a whole-wheat version, only moderately sweet -- the way I think scones should be. You can always top them with jam or honey if you want more sugar. The whole-wheat flour brings a rich, nutty flavor to the scones.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Sift together flours, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt. Stir in oatmeal. Rub in butter, or place in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle and beat at low speed, or pulse in a food processor, until incorporated. Add buttermilk and raisins and mix just until dough comes together.
- Transfer to a lightly floured work surface and gently shape into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Cut either into 2-inch circles with a biscuit cutter or into 6 squares, then cut each square in half on the diagonal. Transfer to baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes, until browned on the bottom. Flip over, bake 2 more minutes, and remove from the heat. Serve warm or allow to cool.

LEVAIN BAKERY OATMEAL RAISIN SCONES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine everything except the half-and-half until just combined. Do not over mix. (Mixture will not be creamed, just mixed together.)
- Quickly pour in 1 1/4 cups of the half-and-half while mixing quickly. If the dough appears at all dry add the remaining 1/4 cups of half & half until just combined. Again, do not over mix.
- Turn the dough out onto a very well floured surface. If the dough is very sticky, flour the top of the dough also. Pat the mixture into a layer 3/4 to 1-inch thick. Using a 2-inch diameter round cutter, cut out the scones, dipping the cutter into flour each time between cuts. Place each scone, as cut, onto a parchment paper covered sheet pan leaving 2 to 3 inches between each scone. This should make 12 round scones. (You can also form dough into rectangular shape and cut with a knife into 12 square or triangle scones.)
- Bake for about 18 minutes or until golden brown on both the top and bottom of scones.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, plump raisins. If your raisins are dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before adding them to the scone dough.
- Be sure to use cold butter when making scones. This will help to create a flaky texture.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the scones tough.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- To make sure the scones are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of one. If it comes out clean, the scones are done.
- Scones are best served warm, but they can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Raisin and oat scones are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With their sweet and tangy flavor, these scones are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
