Soft, Sour Cream Scones
- 1-3/4 cup All-purpose Flour
- 1/4 cups Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 3/4 teaspoons Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 2 Tablespoons Cold Butter
- 1 whole Egg, Lightly Beaten
- 3/4 cups Sour Cream
- 1 teaspoon Grated Lemon And/or Orange Peel
- 1 cup Mix-ins Of Your Choice, See Above For Suggestions
- 1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- 2. Whisk the egg, sour cream, lemon peel and orange peel; stir into the crumb mixture just until moistened.
- 3. Stir in whatever you want (chocolate chips and peanut butter, coconut and blueberries, white chocolate chips and strawberries, etc.). Turn onto a floured surface; knead 10 times. (Sometimes I add the extra stuff after kneading it!)
- 4. Roll out with rolling pin into a circle, on a floured surface. Then, I use a pizza cutter to cut triangles and place each scone onto a cookie sheet. Sometimes, I make two small circles and make mini scones. Sprinkle scones with a little extra sugar for a crunch. Bake at 400u0b0F for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Note: I often make a glaze for these using powdered sugar, milk or cream, lemon or orange juice, and a tad bit of vanilla.
