Sourdough Scones

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

Step 2

Grate frozen butter into the dry ingredients with a cheese grater and cut in with a pastry cutter. (You can also use your hands or a food processor).

Step 3

Add in the mix-ins and coat with flour. Set the bowl aside.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients.

Step 5

Fold the wet ingredients into the flour mixture. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 6

On a clean, lightly floured surface, roll the dough out into a circle about 8” in diameter. Cut the circle into 8 equal parts.

Step 7

Place on a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper about 2” apart.

Step 8

Put in the fridge for 30 minutes up to 3 days for a longer fermentation. They will not ferment much at 30 minutes, but after 3 days the grains should be nicely fermented.

Step 9

When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 400°.

Step 10

Brush the top of the scones with cream and sprinkle with sugar. (Optional)

Step 11

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
