These are the best and I make them all the time, always by hand and it is very easy. Once the butter is grated in, you just need to toss it around gently in the flour and that is all the blending it needs. I usually use yogurt instead of sour cream, but sometimes, if I don't have either, I add lemon juice to milk to make a sour milk and it turns out really well. I usually put an egg in a measuring cup and fill the rest with sour cream or yogurt and a splash of vanilla. The dough ends up softer, but I don't handle it too much and it always turns out. I often sprinkle the top with cinnamon and sugar just before baking and it turns out lovely and crunchy. I have used dried cranberries or chopped apple instead of raisins on occasion. After never having much luck with scones, it's great to have a recipe that my family and friends love!
