Steps

20 mins

1

Gather ingredients and pre heat the oven
2

Mix the two flours together then sieve.
3

Add in baking powder and baking soda. Sieve then mix together
4

I had no buttermilk so in my milk I put 1 tbsp vinegar to make buttermilk. Add sugar and dissolve in the milk
5

In your flour mixture add the cold margarine. Do not over incorporate. Small pieces of butter should be visible in the flour. Add in raisins
6

Make a well in your flour and pour in your buttermilk. Use a spatula fold the mixture until flour disappears
7

Prepare your baking pan and line with grease proof paper. Use your hands to make balls from the sticky dough and place on the baking pan(add flour to your palms to avoid stickiness)
8

You can pat the down or do as I did. I wanted crunch so I pressed down the center with a glass bottom that was dusted with flour
9

Egg wash then bake at 180 degrees for 20 mins
10

When ready, remove and place on rack to cool

Serve with desired beverage. Enjoy
