- 2 cups all purpose flour, plus more for rolling
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 tablespoons very cold unsalted butter, diced
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup chopped prunes
- 1 cup confectioner's sugar
- about 1 tablespoon water
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add butter to food processor and pulse until butter is the size of peas.
- Add milk and sour cream to food processor and pulse until dough comes together into a ball.
- Lightly flour a work surface. The dough may be a little sticky, so flour your hands and quickly work chopped prunes into the dough.
- Roll dough out to 1/4 inch thick. Use biscuit cutter to cut out scones.
- Place scones on prepared baking sheet. Bake scones until golden, about 15 minutes. Move to a rack and let cool.
- While scones are cooling, whisk together confectioners' sugar and water. If icing is too thick, add more water, 1/4th of a teaspoon at a time. Drizzle icing over scones.
