In medium bowl, mix together flour, oats, sugar, baking powder and salt. Use a pastry blender or two knives to cut margarine into dry ingredients until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in eggs, sour cream, raisins and milk.

Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Knead lightly 10 times. Roll or pat into 10 x 11-inch rectangle. Cut into two 5 x 11-inch sections. Mix streusel ingredients with a fork and lightly pat onto one piece of dough; cover with other piece. With a sharp knife, cut into triangles and place on un-greased baking sheet.
