MOTHER’S DAY SCONES

  • 2 CUPS ALL PURPOSE FLOUR
  • 1/3 CUP SUGAR
  • 1 TEASPOON BAKING POWDER
  • 1/2 TEASPOON SALT
  • 1/4 TEASPOON BAKING SODA
  • 8 TABLESPOONS UNSALTED BUTTER, FROZEN
  • 1/2 CUP RAISINS (OR ADD CHOCOLATE CHIPS, DRIED CRANBERRIES, NUTS, CHEDDAR CHEESE, CRUMBLED BACON, LEMON, OR ORANGE ZEST)
  • 1/2 CUP SOUR CREAM
  • 1 LARGE EGG
  • 1 TEASPOON SUGAR

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking tray with parchment paper

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Grate butter into flour mixture on the large holes of a grater. Use your fingers to work in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbles, then toss in raisins or your favorite add-in. Whisk sour cream and egg together in small bowl until combined. Stir in sour cream mixture into flour mixture using a fork until large dough clumps form. Use your hands to shape the dough into a ball. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and pat into a 7–8-inch circle, about 3/4 thick. Sprinkle with the remaining sugar, use a sharp knife to cut into 8 equal triangles: place on the prepared baking tray, about 1 inch apart. Bake scones in the preheated oven until golden, about 15 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes; serve warm or at room temperature. Recipe adapted from Allrecipes.
