Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, dark brown demerara sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and vanilla extract.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

Fold in nutmeg, cinnamon, and raisins until evenly distributed.

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.

Shape the dough into small balls and place them on a greased baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Optional: Brush with glaze for added sweetness.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
