My Scones
Ingredients
- 2/3 c Buttermilk; (+more if
- 1/2 ts Salt
- 3/4 c Raisins; (optional)
- 1 lg Egg
- 1 tb Baking Powder
- 4 tb Cold butter; (unsalted)
- 2 1/4 c Flour
- 2 ts Sugar
- 2 tb Sugar
- 1/2 ts Baking soda
- 1 Egg white; Beat with 1 tsp.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 deg. F. In a medium size bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt – stir well. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center and mix in the raisins. Beat together the egg and the buttermilk. Pour into the well. Stir with a fork, adding more buttermilk if necessary to make a sticky but manageable dough. Gently gather dough into a ball and turn out onto a floured surface. Knead lightly. Divide the dough into two equal portions. Flatten each part into a 3/4-inch thick circle. With a sharp floured knife, cut each circle into six wedges and arrange on a buttered baking sheet. Brush tops with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Bake 12-15 minutes or until tops are light golden. Split open while hot, spread with jam and top with a mixture of whipped cream and sour cream.
