Ingredients

3 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated surgar
1  tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 egg
1/2 cup greek yogurt
6 tablespoon cold butter cut into pieces
3/4 cup raisins

Topping

One yolk
2 tablespoon whole milk

Note : I addapted this recipe so if you need add some flour or yogurt if dough  is dry.




Method

To mix by hand in a bowl, stir together the flour, the sugar, baking powder, salt and lemon zest .
Using a pastry blender or 2 knives cut in the butter until is broken down into unevely sized pieces, the largest as big as a pea.
Scatter the raisins over the dough.
 Finally add the egg and  the greek yogurt over the  dry ingredients  and mix with a spatula just until all is moistened. 

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and press gently until the dough clings together in a ball.

Pat or roll  dough into a circle and using a lightly greased and floured biscuit cutter cut into rounds. Dip cutter into flour as often as necessary to keep dough from sticking .
Place  about 1 inch (2.3 cm) apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Preheat the oven to 180°c (360° F)
In a small bowl combine the yolk with whole milk and brush onto scones.
Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. 
Remove from oven and serve warm or at room temperature.
