Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (frozen)
- 1/2 cup raisins (or dried currants)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 large egg
Method
- Place your oven rack in the lower-middle section and preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a bowl, combine 1/3 cup sugar, flour, baking soda, and salt. Add grated butter into the dry ingredients. Use the large holes of a box grater to form big chunks of butter. Use your hands to mix the batter. You’ll know it’s done when it forms a coarse meal. Add the raisins (or dried currants, cranberries, cherries, peach, etc.).
- In a separate bowl, combine the egg and sour cream. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the sour cream mixture into the batter until you form dough clumps. With your hands, press the dough against the bowl to form a ball. Take note that the dough might seem sticky and liquidy at first, don't fret, the dough will thicken gradually as you press it.
- Dust flour onto a clean flat surface. Place the dough on the surface and form into a 7- to 8-inch-circle (about 3/4-inches thick).
- Sprinkle dough with a teaspoon of sugar or Stevia. Cut the dough into 6-8 triangles. Place the triangles on a cookie sheet, about one inch apart.
- Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, or until golden. Allow scones to cool for 5 minutes. For added flavor, coat the top with a dab of honey once cooled.
- Enjoy! Can be served warm or at room temperature.
