English Breakfast Scones

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly dust a baking sheet with flour.

Sift first 4 ingredients into large bowl. Add butter and blend with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Mix in raisins.

Whisk cream and eggs in a small bowl to blend. Pour over crumb mixture, stirring just until combined.

Transfer dough to lightly floured work surface. Press dough into 1-inch thick round. Cut out rounds using 3-inch round cookie cutter. Gather dough scraps and press to thickness of 1 inch. Cut out additional rounds.

Transfer scones to prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with additional sugar. Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue baking until light brown, about 18 minutes.

Cool slightly. Serve scones warm.
