Method

  1. Preheat oven to 190°C.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt until combined. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter or two knives until mixture is crumbly.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg and cream. Add to the flour mixture and mix just until dough forms. Stir in chocolate chips and raisins until evenly distributed.

  4. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead dough gently a few until it comes together. Pat or roll the dough into a 2.5cm thick circle. Cut into 8 wedges using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.

  5. Place scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown. Serve warm and enjoy!
