• Stir in the currents.
• Mix the beaten egg yolk with the sour cream and stir into the dry mix to make a smooth dough.
• Turn onto a lightly floured board and knead lightly for 10 seconds.
• Pat or roll the dough into two 6 inch rounds 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.
• Score each round into quarters but do not cut through.
• Bake in hot oven (425 degrees) for 15 to 18 minutes.

CHICKEN IN SOUR CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown chicken on both sides and transfer to prepared baking dish. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika to taste.
• Combine mushroom soup, onion soup mix, sour cream, lemon juice, and dill weed. Pour over chicken.
• Bake in preheated oven for one hour, or until chicken pieces are done and sauce is browned. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

SIMPLE SCONES

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a medium bowl, mix flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Grate butter into flour mixture on the large holes of a box grater; use your fingers to work in butter (mixture should resemble coarse meal), then stir in raisins.
• In a small bowl, whisk sour cream and egg until smooth.
• Using a fork, stir sour cream mixture into flour mixture until large dough clumps form. Use your hands to press the dough against the bowl into a ball. (The dough will be sticky in places, and there may not seem to be enough liquid at first, but as you press, the dough will come together.)
• Place on a lightly floured surface and pat into a 7- to 8-inch circle about 3/4-inch thick. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tsp. of sugar. Use a sharp knife to cut into 8 triangles; place on a cookie sheet (preferably lined with parchment paper), about 1 inch apart. Bake until golden, about 15 to 17 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature.

SOUR CREAM SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking sheet or parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, sift and combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
• Separate the egg yolk from the white. Save the yolk for the last step before baking.
• In another bowl, whisk together the egg white, melted butter, and sour cream. (If you are adding an extract - vanilla or anything else, add it now, but no more than 2 teaspoons)
• Once mixed, add the dry ingredients, and your add-in, to the wet ingredients and stir until most of the ingredients have come together. DO NOT over mix the dough. Mix just until the flour is incorporated.
• Using a large ice-cream scoop, scoop the dough out onto the baking sheet. I used a half cup scoop size.
• Add one tablespoon of water to the egg yolk and whisk to combine. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the top of each scone with the egg yolk mixture. Sprinkle over about a half teaspoon of course sugar, if using.
• Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately remove from baking sheet and transfer to a wire cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

PEACH AND SOUR CREAM SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, sugar).
• Cube cold butter in 1/2-inch squares with a knife. With your hands, work butter into flour mixture by squeezing and flattening it with your fingers and hands. It should become flat shards and pea-sized bits. Mix in frozen peaches with your fingers.
• Create a well in center of the flour mixture and add sour cream. Using a fork, gently stir in sour cream until incorporated. Use your hands to fold dough onto itself once or twice.
• Turn out dough onto a floured surface and pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Using bench scraper, fold one short side of pastry toward the middle, and then the opposite side onto itself like you are folding a piece of paper to fit in an envelope. Using more flour if necessary, flatten dough again to 1-inch thick. Cut dough into 8 even squares.
• Place dough squares onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, and brush with egg wash. Bake 18-23 minutes at 400 until golden brown. Cool slightly before eating.

SAVORY CHEDDAR-SOUR CREAM SCONES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450ºF.
• Mix first 4 ingredients in large bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in shredded cheese.
• Make well in center of flour mixture. Mix sour cream and milk. Add to flour mixture; stir with fork just until moistened.
• Spoon onto parchment-covered baking sheet; pat to 10-inch circle. Cut into 10 wedges. Gently separate wedges; brush with egg. Sprinkle with Parmesan and onions.
• Bake 10 to 12 min. or until golden brown. Serve warm.

RHUBARB SOUR CREAM DROP SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400F.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• In a small bowl or measuring cup, stir together the butter, sour cream and egg. Add to the dry ingredients along with the rhubarb and stir just until combined.
• Drop in large spoonfuls (about 1/3 cup each) onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden. Makes 6-8 scones.

SOUR CREAM FRUIT SCONES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees with a rack in the upper third. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Using the large holes of a box grater, grate butter directly into the dry ingredients, stopping a few times along the way to toss the butter pieces into the flour. Use your fingers to work the butter into slightly smaller pieces. Add cherries and toss to combine.
• In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream and milk. Add to the flour mixture, and use a fork to stir until all the dry flour bits are incorporated, but the dough is still shaggy. Smoosh and knead the dough a few times until it barely holds together, then dump the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface.
• Pat dough to a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Cut into 8 squares, transfer to the prepared sheet, and brush the tops with beaten egg.
• Bake until golden brown, 18 to 22 minutes. Let cool slightly. Scones will keep, covered at room temperature, for 3 days. Reheat, if you like, in a toaster oven or at 350 degrees until warmed through.
