Sourdough Scones image

While trying to use up some excess sourdough starter, I developed this recipe. The scones come out really tender and moist and my kids love the cinnamon-y taste from the apple pie spice.

Time 40m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 ½ cups bread flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
⅓ cup cold butter
1 ¼ cups sourdough starter
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons coarse sugar, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together the flour, salt, cream of tartar, baking soda, sugar, and apple pie spice in a mixing bowl. Cut in the butter with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the sourdough starter and mix by hand to form a soft dough.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 4 pieces. Pat or roll one piece of dough into a 1/2-inch thick round. Cut it into 4 wedge-shaped pieces and place the scones on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Repeat with remaining pieces of dough. Brush the tops of the scones with milk and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
  • Bake until the scones just start to turn golden, 12 to 15 minutes.

Meh. These scones were just okay. They were a bit dry and lacked flavor. I wouldn't make them again.

Yum! These scones were amazing! I made them for a brunch party and they were a huge hit. Everyone loved the tangy flavor from the sourdough starter and the moist, fluffy texture.

These scones were a bit too dense for my taste. I followed the recipe exactly, but they turned out more like biscuits than scones. I think I might try adding a bit more butter next time to see if that helps.

Easy to follow recipe and delicious results! I love how moist and flavorful these scones are. The sourdough starter gives them a unique tang that I really enjoy. I will definitely be making these again.

These sourdough scones were a delightful treat! The texture was light and fluffy, with a slightly tangy flavor from the sourdough starter. I followed the recipe exactly and found the scones to be perfectly cooked. I especially enjoyed the addition of
