Ingredients
All-Purpose Flour White Sugar Salt Baking Powder Butter Raisins - optional Buttermilk Egg
Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until well-distributed and dry ingredients resemble clumpy sand. Stir in raisins.
In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, beat together the buttermilk and egg until well-combined.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk-egg mixture. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until you're unable to stir anymore
Next, use your hands to continue kneading the dough, at least 2 minutes until it's mostly no longer sticky and the dough forms a cohesive ball.
Place the ball of dough onto the prepared skillet or cookie sheet. Use a sharp knife to cut a large X-shape in the center of the dough to allow steam to escape.
