Combine dry ingredients and whisk to blend. Cut in butter. Add 1 whole egg and 1 egg yolk (reserving other egg white), sour cream and milk. Stir just until moistened. Add raisins and knead 30 seconds in bowl. On baking sheet, pat or roll out into a circle 1/2'" thick. With a sharp knife cut into 12 triangular wedges.Brush each top with beaten egg white and sprinkle lightly with sugar. Bake at 425º for 12 minutes, until golden.

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
I love these with golden raisins, dried cranberries or dried cherries. Mini chocolate chips would probably work too but high temperature might melt them. Maybe good but messy . I
add a little cinnamon and nutmeg for fruit scones. If dried fruit is a little hard let it sit in very hot water a few minutes then drain and pat dry.
