Sift the flour, baking soda and powder into a bowl. Rub in
butter. Add in the sugar and raisins. Stir with a wooden spoon. Make a well in
the mix and work in the buttermilk. Turn on to a floured board and knead
briefly. With a wooden rolling pin, roll out the mixture till it is one inch
thick. Use a cookie cutter, or an upside-down plastic tumbler, to cut out the
scones from the dough. Glaze with a beaten egg. Bake in a hot oven ( 425°F) for
15 minutes. ( To make rock buns, pull a hand full of dough from the rolled out
dough and arrange the "rocks" on a baking tray. Coat with sugar and
bake.)
