2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp granulated sugar for dusting
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 fine salt
8 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 larger egg
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 dried cranberries
Pre-heat oven to 400 F and line baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a medium bowl. Sift, combine, and whisk two cups all purpose flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and fine salt. Grate one stick refrigerated, unsalted butter into the flour on the large holes of the grater. Work in the butter with the fork until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in half cup of dry cranberries. In a separate mixing bowl or liquid measuring cup, combine and whisk egg and sour cream until smooth. Add the liquid to the dry ingredients and stir with a fork until the dough starts to come together. Using your hands, continue by pressing the dough against the bowl into a ball. Do not overwork the dough. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and pat into a 7-8 inch circle about 3/4 an inch thick. Sprinkle with 1 tsp granulated sugar and using a pastry scrapper, cut dough into 8 triangles. Carefully transfer scones to prepared baking sheet one to two inches apart. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes until golden. Transfer onto a cooling rack and serve warm and fresh cup of coffee or tea.
