Preheat the oven to 425˚F. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and, using a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Toss in the raisins, Blend together the egg and cream in a small bowl, add to the flour mixture, and stir until just combined.

Transfer to a work surface and knead a few times until the dough just holds together. Pat the dough into a 6-inch wide, 1 ½-inch thick circle and cut into 8 wedges.

Arrange the scones a couple of inches apart on a parchment-lined baking tray. Bake for 13 minutes, or until golden brown.
