Description

These classic homemade scones offer the perfect balance of tender crumb and rich, buttery flavor. Made with simple pantry staples like flour, sugar, and sour milk, they deliver a comforting, slightly tangy taste that pairs beautifully with jam, clotted cream, or a warm cup of tea. The addition of baking soda and sour milk ensures a light, airy texture, while the butter provides that essential richness. Ideal for weekend brunches, afternoon tea, or as a satisfying snack, these scones are easy to prepare with ingredients you likely already have on hand. They bake quickly, resulting in a golden-brown exterior and a soft, moist interior. This recipe is a timeless favorite that brings a touch of homemade elegance to any occasion.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC).
  2. Grease a baking sheet.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Using a pastry blender, two table knives, or a fork, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. In a small separate bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the sour milk.
  6. Pour the egg-milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until the dough is moistened. Do not overmix.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it in half.
  8. Place each half on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Shape each half into a 7-inch circle, about 1/2-inch thick.
  10. Cut each circle into six wedges using a sharp knife or pastry cutter.
  11. Prick the top of each scone lightly with a fork.
  12. Bake for 12 minutes, or until the scones are lightly browned and cooked through.
