Scones with Golden Raisins and Tropical Glaze

Preheat oven to 400Fº and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or spray with cooking spray.

In the bowl of a stand mixer add the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and zest. Add the cold butter and mix on low until the butter chunks are the size of small peas.

Combine the eggs and milk and whisk to combine. Slowly add the egg mixture to the flour mixture, beating on low speed just until almost combined. Add the raisins and continue mixing just until combined. Do not overmix!

Pour the sticky dough out onto a well floured work surface and pat or roll the dough to a ¾ to 1 inch thickness. Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into the desired shapes and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Whisk the 1 egg and 2 Tablespoons of milk together and brush the top of the scones. Sprinkle with sugar. Place into the oven and bake for 25 – 30 minutes, or until lightly browned and fully baked. The scones should be firm to the touch.

For the glaze, whisk the powdered sugar and juice together until smooth. Allow the scones to cool for about 15 minutes and then drizzle with some of the glaze. After the scones have fully cooled drizzle with more glaze.
