Alex's scones recipe
   
   2 cups flour
   8 tablespoons butter (1 stick)
   1/3 cup sugar
   1 teaspoon baking powder
   1/2 teaspoon baking soda
   1/2 teaspoon salt
   1/2 sour cream
   1 large egg
   1/2 cup raisins (or dried cranberries or currants)
   zest of one orange
   
   Preheat oven to 400°F.
   In a small bowl thoroughly mix zest and sugar.
   In a medium bowl mix remaining dry ingredients.
   Cut butter into flour mixture (pea sized plus a bit more).
   Add sugar and knead until incorporated. Then the raisins.
   In the sugar bowl mix sour cream and egg until smooth.
   Mix with flour mixture until just combined - dough sticky.
   Flatten dough on floured surface to 3/4" thick circle.
   Cut into 8 triangle pieces. 
   Place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
   Bake for about 15-17 mins until tops begin to brown.
   Serve hot from oven or once they have cooled.
