   2      cups          flour, all-purpose
   3      tablespoons   sugar
     1/2  cup           raisins -- or currants
   3      teaspoons     baking powder
   1      teaspoon      salt
     1/4  teaspoon      baking soda
     1/2  cup           sour cream
   1                    egg -- slightly beaten
   3      tablespoons   milk

Preheat oven to 425°F.  In a large bowl, combine first six ingredients.  
Add remaining ingredients and mix by hand until dough is uniformly 
moistened.  Turn onto floured board and knead 12 to 15 times.  Divide 
dough into two equal sized balls.  By hand, pat each ball into a 6 inch 
round.  Sprinkle each round lightly with sugar.  Cut each round into six 
wedges and place wedges on an ungreased  baking sheet.   Bake for 10 to 12 
minutes, or until done.  Serve warm.
