Scones

Yummy scones for breakfast today.

Ingredients:

2 coups of all-purpose flour
1/3 cup of sugar
1t baking powder
1/2 t salt
1/4 t baking soda
1 stick of frozen unsalted butter
1 egg
1/2 cup of sour cream
1/2 cup of dried tart Door County cherries
1/2 cup of chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 400.

Mix together the egg and sour cream until smooth.  in a different bowl mix together the flour, sugar baking powder, salt, soda, cherries and walnuts.  Shave the butter into the bowl of  dry ingredients using the coarse holes of your grater. Mix with a fork. 

Stir the egg and sour cream mixture into the mix.  It's going to be sticky so use your hands to mold everything into a stiff ball of dough. 



Roll-out your dough ball on a slightly floured surface.  Sprinkle sugar over the top and cut into eight triangular pieces.

Bake on a cookie sheet for 20 minutes - give or take.  

Top with ice cream for a great dessert or serve with a hot cuppa joe for breakfast.
