Scone Recipe: The Best Scones Ever

Step 1

Kick the tires & light the fires to 350 degrees.

Step 2

Take your bowl with your cup of sour cream, and mix in the baking soda.

Step 3

Whisk together the flour, sugar,baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or two knives in a criss-cross fashion, until the butter is broken into pea sized morsels in the flour.

Step 5

Beat the egg and mix in into the sour cream.

Step 6

Add the sour cream mixture into the dry mixture, working it in.

Step 7

The dough can be a bit dry, but if you use your hands to combine it, it will be perfect. If needed add milk until it's combined. The secret to a good scone is a drier dough, not gluey.

Step 8

When the dough is combined, mix in the fruit. I fold in delicate berries by hand.

Step 9

Divide into three equal circles, patting each into a circle that is one inch thick (width ranges from 6-7 inches). Cut each circle into six equal triangles.

Step 10

Bake on a well greased or parchment lined baking sheet for 15-20 minutes, until the scones are browned nicely on the bottom and slightly on the top. Watch them carefully!

Step 11

Serve and enjoy!
