Breakfast Scones

Ingredients:

2 cups flour

1/3 cup sugar

1 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

8 tbsp. butter, frozen

1/2 cup raisins

1/2 cup sour cream

1 egg

1.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees

2.  Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3.  Grate butter into flour mixture and use fingers to work in butter.  Mixture should resemble coarse meal.

4.  Stir in raisins.

5.  In separate bowl, whisk sour cream and egg until smooth.

6.  Using a fork, stir sour cream mixture into flour mixture until large dough clumps form.

7.  Work dough clumps into one ball and place on a lightly floured surface.

8.  Pat dough into a 7 – 8 inch circle, about 3/4-inch thick.

9.  Sprinkle 1 tsp. sugar over top of dough and cut into 8 triangles.

10.  Place on a cookie sheet and bake about 15 minutes.

If you don’t like raisins, mix in anything else you like.  I use dried cranberries.  Brian prefers chocolate chips!
