  • If you don't have sour cream, you can substitute plain yogurt or buttermilk.
  • Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the scones rise properly.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will result in tough scones.
  • Bake the scones until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
