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.

SOUR CREAM SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 °.
• In a large mixing bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• Add the cold butter to the flour and toss to coat.
• Using your thumbs and fingers shingle the butter into the flour as directed in the post.
• In a smaller mixing bowl beat egg and then add the sour cream and milk or cream to the egg and whisk to combine.
• Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the egg /sour cream mixture.
• Mix using a fork until the flour is hydrated and the dough just comes together. It will be shaggy.
• Turn the dough onto a piece of parchment paper and form a 6-8 inch circle. Don't overwork the dough or pat it smooth.
• Cut the dough round into 8 even wedges and put them on a parchment lined baking sheet.
• Chill the wedges for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
• Bake the scones in the center of the oven for 15-20 minutes until the outside is risen and golden and the center is done.
• When the scones are done cool them completely on a wire rack.
• Make a glaze.
• Add the confectioner's sugar, 1 TBS milk or cream and 1/2 tsp vanilla in a medium bowl and stir to combine.
• Drizzle on top of the cooled scones.
• Sprinkle sanding sugar over the scones liberally.
• Serve with butter and jam or lemon curd.

SOUR CREAM SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 °F.
• In a food processor, pulse flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt together. Add the cubed butter until a coarse meal forms. Pulse in the sour cream and egg yolk until just combined.
• Turn the sticky dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until the dough comes together into a ball. Gently pat the dough down into a 3/4-inch thick square shape. With a large knife cut the dough square into 4 smaller, equal squares. Then cut each smaller square diagonally, with an X, making 4 smaller triangles.
• Transfer the 16 triangles onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Brush the tops of each scone with heavy cream and sprinkle it with some coarse sugar. This will create a shiny and crunchy top for the scones. Bake in preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes until the bottoms of the scones are light brown.
• Remove from oven, cool slightly on the sheet pan and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

SOUR CREAM ZUCCHINI BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Grease and flour well 2 bread loaf pans. I like to use 4 mini loaf pans for gifts.
• Sift together the flour(s), wheat germ if using, cinnamon, salt, baking soda and baking powder.
• In a separate bowl combine the eggs, brown sugar, white sugar, and oil.
• Add the dry ingredients slowly to the egg mixture.
• When thoroughly mixed, add the sour cream and vanilla.
• Finally, mix in the shredded zucchini, nuts and/or raisins.
• Pour the mixture into the two loaf pans (or mini pans).
• Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
• If baking mini loaves, adjust time to about 50 to 60 minutes.
• Use a toothpick placed in the center of the loaf to see if the loaves are done. The toothpick should be clean or just have a few crumbs on it.
• Enjoy!
