For best results, ensure the butter is very cold and grate it quickly to prevent it from melting. This will create pockets of butter that melt during baking, resulting in a flaky and tender scone. Feel free to substitute dried currants or other dried fruits for the raisins, based on your preference. Do not overmix the dough, as this will result in tough scones. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. Scones are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving, if desired.
