Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
½ cup cold butter, thinly sliced
½ cup California raisins
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
Zest of 1 lime
Zest of 1 lemon
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the cold, sliced butter to the flour mixture. Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, work it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the California raisins, lime zest, and lemon zest.
Gently fold in the Greek yogurt until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Transfer dough to a floured surface. Pat into a 1-inch thick circle and cut into 8 wedges.
Place scones on the baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
