In Virgina we used to live near by a bakery called Great Harvest. My favorite thing to get there was their Black Raspberry Scones! Well when we moved to Kansas, almost 3 years ago, Michael had a online class for Home Schooling. Michael had woken up early for the class so when I woke up he was in the kitchen making scones. He told me that he had had time to kill so he looked up a scone recipe on the computer. Well now we still use that recipe! I woke up to my Mom’s voice this morning asking if I would like to make scones with her! It was so nice! These scones always make me think of Great Harvest! Though they aren’t exactly the same taste I still enjoy them!
If you’d like to try them out for yourself, see recipe below:Michael’s Scones1 cup sour cream1 tsp. baking soda1 egg1 tsp. vanilla4 cups flour1 cup sugar1/4 tsp. cream of tartar1 tsp. salt2 tsp. baking powder1/2 cup butter (softened)1 beaten egg whitecinnamon/sugar sprinklesCombine baking soda and sour cream, mix well. Add beaten egg and vanilla, mix and set aside. Combine remaining dry ingredients. Cut in butter until mixture becomes crumbly. Stir in sour cream mixture until moist. Turn dough onto floured surface, knead briefly. Divide dough in half. Roll into two pie shaped circles about 3/4 inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges. Place on greased cookie sheet. Brush top with beaten egg white and sprinkle with sugar/cinnamon mixture. Bake 15 – 18 minutes at 350.
