Absolutely delicious! I combined advice/alterations from several reviewers, and tinkered with the recipe a bit. I used light sour cream instead of regular sour cream and evaporated skim milk instead of regular milk. I froze the butter, grated it, then tossed it in the rest of the dry ingredients, instead of using a pastry blender. I also substituted dried cranberries (heated in orange juice then cooled and drained) for the raisins/currants, and added the zest of 1/2 of a large orange to the dry ingredients. Finally, I sprinkled sugar over the egg wash before baking, and drizzled cooled scones with a glaze made from icing sugar, freshly squeezed orange juice, and the zest from the other 1/2 of the orange. The scones were delicious at room temperature, topped with butter and homemade strawberry jam.
