Traditional Scottish Scones

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour

3 teaspoons baking powder

1 oz/25g (¼ stick) of butter or margarine.

¼ pint (140ml or half to ¾ cup) sour cream

One beaten egg

Pinch of salt



Preheat the oven to 400F/200C

Sift the dry ingredients together and then rub in the butter. Pour in the sour cream and then the beaten egg in the centre of the mixture and mix to obtain a soft elastic dough. Turn out onto a floured surface and roll out to about ½ inch (1.2cm) thick. Prick over with a fork and cut into small rounds with a cutter about 1½ inches (3.8cm) in diameter. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes.

Scones are delicious if served warm. Cut in two and spread with butter and/or jam (preserves) to add even more flavour and moisture.
