Instructions

Cinnamon Raisin Scones

Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In the bowl of a food processor add the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Pulse 2 or 3 times to combine.
Add the butter to the flour mixture and pulse until you have pea sized pieces of butter.
Add the sour cream to the butter mixture and again pulse only to combine.
Add the raisins and pulse until the dough comes together.
On a lightly floured surface, turn out the scone mixture. Using your hands pat the sides and top to make a circle about 1 inch thick and 10 inches in diameter. Cut into 8 wedges and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until centers are done. Remove to a wire rack and cool for 5 minutes before glazing.

Orange Glaze

Sift the powdered sugar into a medium bowl. Add the orange juice and zest and stir until the mixture is thick but pourable. Using a fork, drizzle large ribbons of glaze over the scones. Allow to set for 5 minutes before serving.
