Step-by-Step Instructions for Cinnamon Raisin Scones
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. Cut in the cold, cubed butter until you see small pea-sized pieces.
  4. Stir in the raisins evenly throughout the flour mixture.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and sour cream until combined.
  6. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  7. On a floured surface, shape the dough into a 7-inch diameter disk and cut into 8 triangles.
  8. Transfer to the baking sheet and bake for 15-16 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Prepare the almond glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, ground cinnamon, almond extract, and nutmeg.
