Ingredients:  
4 cups unsifted all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
2/3 cup butter
1 1/3 cups half-and-half

Directions:
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Grease large baking sheet. In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cream of tartar. With pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

In small bowl, beat together half-and-half and egg. Measure out and reserve 2 tablespoons of mixture. Add remaining mixture to dry ingredients along with raisins, if desired. Mix lightly with fork until mixture clings together and forms a soft dough.

Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface and knead gently 5 or 6 times. Divide dough in half. With lightly floured rolling pin, roll one half dough into into a 7-inch round. Cut into 4 wedges. Repeat with remaining half of dough.

Place scones, 1 inch apart, on greased baking sheet. Pierce tops with tines of fork. Brush tops with reserved egg mixture.

Bake scones 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
