Directions: |
Directions:Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together. Cut in butter or pulse in a food processor until resembles course cornmeal. Add sour cream and milk to make a dough. Divide dough in half. Pat each half out into a 6-7" round that is approximately 1 inch thick onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar if desired. Cut each round into eight pieces and space apart. Bake at 400º for approximately 14 minutes until barely browned. Following are some variations to the basic recipe. If the dough seems too dry just add a little milk.

Notes: I always loved using the little white cups at Grandma Martinson's house while the ladies had egg coffee out of the fancy teacups with the gold rims. I have my own teacup collection with one of Grandma's teacups. I drink coffee out of it sometimes and I keep it in my Mother's china cabinet at the cabin.
Back to the scones, since you get two rounds out of the basic recipe you can half the amount of the variations and make two different kinds of scones.
