--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    2               cups  all-purpose flour
       1/3           cup  sugar
    1           teaspoon  baking powder
       1/4      teaspoon  baking soda
       1/2      teaspoon  salt
    8        tablespoons  unsalted butter -- frozen
       1/2           cup  raisins -- (or dried currants)
       1/2           cup  sour cream
    1              large  egg
       1/2           cup  fresh blueberries

Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat oven to 400F. 
In a medium bowl, mix flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, baking 
soda and salt. Grate butter into flour mixture on the large holes of 
a box grater; use your fingers to work in butter (mixture should 
resemble coarse meal). In a small bowl, whisk sour cream and egg 
until smooth. Using a fork, stir sour cream mixture into flour 
mixture until large dough clumps form. Add the blueberries, I toss 
mine in a bit of flour before adding. Mix gently and use your hands 
to press the dough against the bowl into a ball. (The dough will be 
sticky in places, and there may not seem to be enough liquid at 
first, but as you press, the dough will come together.) Place on a 
lightly floured surface and pat into a 7- to 8" circle about 3/4" 
thick. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tsp. of sugar. Use a sharp knife to 
cut into 8 triangles; place on a cookie sheet (preferably lined with 
parchment paper), about 1" apart. Bake until golden, about 15 to 17 
minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature.
