Description

It took a lot of adjusting and experimenting before I finally had this recipe just right. It has become a requested favorite among my friends, and I love its versatility for flavors.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup All-purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • 3 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 4 Tablespoons Butter
  • ⅔ cups Sour Cream
  • 1 whole Egg

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Sift the dry ingredients together, then cut in the butter to pea-sized pieces. Mix together sour cream and egg; pour in the middle of dry ingredients. Mix gently to obtain a soft elastic dough.

Turn onto a floured surface and knead for 5 to 7 turns. Roll to about 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into small rounds with a biscuit or cookie cutter (1-1/2 inches recommended). Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Serve warm with butter or jam.

My modifications to Traditional Scottish Scones:

1. You may add 1 tablespoon of herbs of your choice or 1 cup of baking chips with the dry ingredients. My favorites are dill weed with sea salt and cracked pepper or cinnamon chips.

2. If using a “sweet” flavor (chocolate chips, cinnamon chips, etc.) add 1/3 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla when making the dough.

The possibilities are endless. Enjoy!
