Recipe For Scones Using Sour Cream

Scones get a bad rap in the pastry department. They’re most often associated with a dry, crumbly texture and a less than satiating taste. But not for long!

We’re sneaking my not-so-secret ingredient into this recipe for Sour Cream Chocolate Chip Scones, giving new life and a new reputation to the triangular treats.

The addition of sour cream lends moisture and a touch of tangy flavor, and when paired with butter in a very specific form, it makes these scones a total slam-dunk.

The Perfect Pantry®: Sour Cream (recipe: Currant Cardamom Scones)

By grating the butter and working it into the dough, you’re dispersing it much more evenly with the flour. The cooler temp of the frozen butter also ensures your scone dough will be easier to work with, and that chilled fat will then melt once the pastries meet up with your oven.

One last tip to guarantee texture perfection: A generous brushing of heavy cream atop the scones before they’re baked. This final step seals in the moisture while giving the scones a subtle golden-brown glow.

Moral of the story? Sour Cream Chocolate Chip Scones are your one-stop shop for bakery-worthy breakfast pastries that take 40 minutes to make from start to finish. Now you just have to decide if they’re breakfast, a snack or dessert!

Making scones at home is extraordinarily easy, but there are a few things you need to know before jumping in. When made wrong, scones can be dry… bland… and just… blah. But when done the right way? Oh baby! They are a luxury to be savored.

Why cold butter? Read on! Cold butter is what creates scones that are flaky, crumbly, and tender. If your butter is warm and melts before baking you’re going to lose all those buttery layers that are essential in a scone. When it comes time to add the butter into the dough, you should resist using your hands, since body heat will quickly make the butter melt. Instead use a pastry cutter or two forks. My favorite method is grating the butter then quickly working it into the dough with my pastry cutter.

Once your chilled butter situation is under control, you’re all set to assemble! For the dry ingredients you’ll need flour (I used unbleached all-purpose here, but regular all-purpose will work, too), baking powder (2 tablespoon give these scones their high rise), granulated sugar (this adds depth and just a touch of sweetness), salt, black pepper, and onion powder. You’ll also need fresh chives. Most of these ingredients are quite basic and should be easy to find at your local grocery store, if you don’t happen to already have them at home.

For wet/cold ingredients you’ll need sour cream, milk, butter (make sure it’s very cold), and an egg (lightly beaten, for brushing over the scones right before baking). Much like the dry ingredients listed above, these should be very easy to find – and may even already be in your kitchen waiting for you.

As always, it is best to stick to a recipe and the cooking/baking method it calls for exactly – at least the first time you’re making it.

When it’s time to cut the scones, you have some options. I used a 2″ biscuit cutter, and if you own one, you can use it, too. If you don’t, try using an empty mason jar, small topped wine glass, or simply pat the scone dough into a 2″ thick circle then slice the circle into 8 triangles. Scones are forgiving treats, and can be shaped by

Anything. The important thing to remember, no matter how you choose to cut your scones, is to work quickly and try not to handle the dough too much. If you ever find your dough is warm and sticky, pop it back in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes and let it chill, then get back to work.
