Scones

I have found this lovely blog site, stonegable. Actually I have been following it for a while now. Yvonne has the prettiest table scapes! I really enjoy her creative ideas. Everything she does is just beautiful. Her photos are so pretty.

I have always wanted to make my own scones. I have seen many recipes in the past but never tried any. But after seeing her recipe and beautiful photos, I decided to give it a try.

Sour Cream Scones

2 cups flour

3TBS sugar

2TBS baking powder

1tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

5 TBS butter, cubed

1 cup sour cream

1 egg yoke

1/2 heavy cream

1/4 cup sanding sugar

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a food processor, pulse flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, and salt together. Add the cubed butter until a coarse forms. Pulse in the sour cream and egg yolk until just combined.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until the dough comes together into a ball. Don't do this for a long time.

Now pat the dough until it is 3/4 inch thick square shape.

With a large knife cut the dough into 4 smaller, equal squares. Then cut each small square diagonally, with an X, making making 4 smaller triangles.

Transfer the 16 triangles onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Brush the tops of each scone with heavy cream and sprinkle it with the sugar. Not sure what sanding sugar is. I used regular sugar.

This will make the tops shiny and crunchy. Yum!

Bake in preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes until the bottoms of the scones are light brown.

Remove for oven, cool slightly on the sheet pan.

I put on butter and ate them warm.

Yum Yum!

This recipe turned out super good! Also it was way easier than I thought it would be. All my kids and liked it and so did their friends.

Yea! I guess that makes it a success.

If you would like a treat that is not too sweet, this is it. You can top in with butter and jam.

Enjoy!
