Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
- Cut in the cold cubed butter with a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gently fold in the raisins until evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the room-temperature egg and sour cream until smooth, then add to the dry ingredients.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, and pat into a 7-inch disc about 1-inch thick, then slice into 8 triangles.
- Transfer the triangles to the baking sheet, bake for 15-16 minutes until golden, and spring back when touched.
- Combine powdered sugar, milk, almond extract, and nutmeg in a bowl and whisk until smooth for the glaze.
- Cool scones for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack and drizzle the glaze over each scone.

Notes
Ensure your butter is cold for flaky scones. Don't overmix to keep them tender. Store in an airtight container.
