Preheat oven to 330 degrees F.

Grease a large cookie sheet.

In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Add chilled butter and rub with fingertips until the mixture resembles fine meal.

In a medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract.

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, along with the drained golden raisins.

Stir until moist clumps form.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.

Knead the dough 4 times to blend.

Transfer the dough to the prepared cookie sheet and press into an 8-inch round.

Using a small, sharp knife, score the dough into 8 wedges.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes.

Cool slightly before re-cutting along the score lines.
