In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients, including the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Using a pastry blender (or table knife), cut the cold, sliced butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture has fine crumbles.
In a separate measuring cup or bowl, beat the egg and buttermilk together..
Mix the egg mixture into the dry ingredients.
Then fold the raisins into your batter.
Drop the dough, by the spoonful, onto your parchment paper covered baking sheet, and bake at 400° F for about 30-40 minutes, or 'til your scones turn a nice golden brown.
