Preheat oven to 425° F. In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

Cut in the butter until the mixture looks like course crumbs.

Blend in the raisins, then mix in the egg and milk to form a soft dough.

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat gently into a 10 inch circle. Cut into 8 wedges. Separate the wedges and place them onto a lightly floured baking sheet.

Bake at 425° F for 16-18 minutes or until golden brown.
