Using a pastry cutter, cut butter into flour until fully crumbed.
Stir in raisins and sugar.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk eggs, milk and vanilla until thoroughly combined. Pour mix into flour mix and stir until a soft dough is formed.
Transfer dough to a pre-floured pastry sheet. (Alternatively you can use any flat, clean, dry and floured surface.)
Use a lightly floured rolling pin to gently flatten dough. (Dough should be approximately a 1-inch thickness)
Cut scones with a round cookie cutter.
Place cut scones onto cast iron pan or pizza pan. (Alternatively you can use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.)
Gather remaining dough in a ball, re-flatten with rolling pin, then cut scones from dough. Repeat until entire batch of dough is cut into scones. If you have a little excess dough left, just pat it onto the top of the scones.
Bake for 12-15 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
Serve warm or fully fully cooled with butter, jelly, jam, or fresh cream.
