Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter
1 egg
1 cup optional "flavor" (raisins, dried cranberry, cinnamon chips, etc.)
Raw sugar

Steps:

  • 1. In a small bowl, blend the sour cream and baking soda, and set aside. 2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a large baking sheet. 3. In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt. 4. Cut in the butter. 5. Stir the sour cream mixture and egg into the flour mixture until just moistened. Do not over-work the dough. 6. Mix in optional flavor ingredient. 7. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead briefly until dough sticks together. Halve the dough and roll or pat dough into a 1/2" to 3/4" thick round. 8. Dust raw sugar across top of dough round and then cut into wedges. 9. Place wedges 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet (if you don't want to cook them right away, you can individually wrap each wedge in plastic wrap and freeze for later use; they can be cooked straight from the freezer about 30 mins). 10. Bake approx 15-20 minutes in the preheated oven, until light golden brown

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will make the process much smoother and faster.
  • Use Cold Butter: Cold butter is essential for creating flaky scones. If the butter is too warm, it will melt into the dough and make the scones dense and heavy.
  • Work Quickly: Scone dough should be handled as little as possible. The more you work it, the tougher the scones will be.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixing the dough will also make the scones tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together, then stop.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps to develop the flavor and makes the scones easier to handle.
  • Bake the Scones Hot: Preheat your oven to the highest temperature possible before baking the scones. This will help them to rise quickly and create a crispy crust.
  • Don't Overbake: Scones are best when they are slightly underbaked. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

With a few simple tips and tricks, you can easily make delicious scones at home. Experiment with different flavors and toppings to create your own unique recipes. Scones are a versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or afternoon tea. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy baked good, give scones a try!
