Ingredients

  • 2 cups Homemade Baking Mix (cold)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup raisins (coarsely chopped)
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest finely grated
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (plus more for brushing)
  • 1 egg (large, lightly beaten)
  • sanding sugar (coarse, for sprinkling)

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl, whisk together baking mix, granulated sugar, raisins, and zest. In another bowl, whisk together cream and egg; stir into baking-mix mixture until a dough forms. Pat into a 6-inch round on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with cream; sprinkle with sanding sugar. Cut into 8 wedges, and pull them 2 inches apart.
  • Bake scones until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool completely on pan on a wire rack.
