Grandma's Scottish Scones image

I asked my grandma what made these scones so Scottish, she laughed and said, "that's what my mother called them." I have no clue how Scottish these scones are but they are delicious. In my house, I have to make a double batch, they go so fast.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 c all purpose flour
1/2 c sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp cream of tarter
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c butter, cold
1/2 c sour cream
1 small egg
1/2 c dried fruit if you wish

Steps:

  • 1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
  • 2. Stir dry ingredients with a whisk, blend well.
  • 3. Cut in butter until mixture resembles cornmeal.
  • 4. Add whichever dried fruit you prefer. I have used blueberries, cranberries, cherries, raisins. When using dried cherries add 1/2 teaspoon almond extract with the wet ingredients.
  • 5. Add sour cream and egg to flour mixture, stir until just moistened. (don't over work the dough or the scones will turn into hockey pucks)
  • 6. Turn dough onto a floured surface, knead 6-8 times. (once again, don't over work the dough)
  • 7. Gently pat the dough into a round about 1 inch thick.
  • 8. Cut into 8 wedges.
  • 9. Place 2 inches apart on a lightly greased baking sheet.
  • 10. Bake 12-15 minutes or until golden brown

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my scones turned out really flat.

I found these scones to be a bit dry. I think I'll try adding some more butter next time.

These scones are a bit more dense than I expected, but they're still very good.

These scones are delicious! I love the way the oats add a little bit of texture and chewiness.

I've made these scones several times now, and they always turn out perfectly. They're so easy to make, and they're always a crowd-pleaser.

These scones were a hit with my family! They were light and fluffy, with a slightly crispy exterior. The flavor was perfect, with a hint of sweetness and a touch of salt.
