Levain Bakery Oatmeal Raisin Scones - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the counter
    2 1/2 cups rolled oats
    3/4 cup white sugar
    2 tablespoons baking powder
    1 teaspoon kosher salt
    12 ounces sweet butter, cold and diced small
    1 cup golden raisin
    1 1/2 cups half-and-half
Preparation
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
    Combine everything except the half-and-half until just combined.
    Do not over mix. (Mixture will not be creamed, just mixed together.)
    Quickly pour in 1 1/4 cups of the half-and-half while mixing quickly.
    If the dough appears at all dry add the remaining 1/4 cups of half & half until just combined.
    Again, do not over mix.
    Turn the dough out onto a very well floured surface.
    If the dough is very sticky, flour the top of the dough also.
    Pat the mixture into a layer 3/4 to 1-inch thick.
    Using a 2-inch diameter round cutter, cut out the scones, dipping the cutter into flour each time between cuts.
    Place each scone, as cut, onto a parchment paper covered sheet pan leaving 2 to 3 inches between each scone.
    This should make 12 round scones. (You can also form dough into rectangular shape and cut with a knife into 12 square or triangle scones.).
    Bake for about 18 minutes or until golden brown on both the top and bottom of scones.
