• 1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
• 2. Stir dry ingredients with a whisk, blend well.

• 5. Add sour cream and egg to flour mixture, stir until just moistened. (don't over work the dough or the scones will turn into hockey pucks)
• 6. Turn dough onto a floured surface, knead 6-8 times. (once again, don't over work the dough)
• 7. Gently pat the dough into a round about 1 inch thick.
• 8. Cut into 8 wedges.
• 9. Place 2 inches apart on a lightly greased baking sheet.
• 10. Bake 12-15 minutes or until golden brown

GRANDMA'S BUTTERMILK SCONES

Steps:

• Sift together first 4 ingredients in a large bowl.
• Mix melted butter and enough buttermilk in a measuring cup to make 2 cups of liquid, dissolve baking soda in the liquid.
• Slowly work the liquid into the dry ingredients until a nice dough forms (you may not need all the milk so do this in stages). The dough should be easily handled and not sticky.
• Divide dough in half and shape into a round ball.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out to 1/2" thick round and cut into pie shaped wedges (a pizza cutter works good for this).
• Fry in a dry electric pan at 350°F (no butter/pam/oil please) until a nice golden brown.
• Flip and brown other side.
• Serve warm. (Can be reheated in a toaster).
• Alternatively, you can roll the doll out and use a glass to cut rounds. Grandma did that sometimes too (while I snuck behind and stole the scraps before she could roll them out again lol).
