English Scones

Lorna's Recipe from Royal Crest Dairy

 

Ingredients:

2 cups flour

4 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar

2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 cup butter

8 ounces sour cream

1 egg yolk, beaten

1 egg white, slightly beaten

 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Mix together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in center. In a small mixing bowl mix together sour cream and egg yolk; add all at once into crumb mixture well. Stir with a fork until combined. Knead 10 to 12 strokes or until nearly smooth. Roll dough into a 7 inch circle. Cut into 12 wedges. Arrange onto cookie sheet, 1 inch apart. Brush egg white on top of each wedge. Bake 10 to 12 minutes. Serve warm.
