Delicious and Quick Scones Recipe
(I make 2 circles out of the dough for more portion control sizes, so they would be a lot bigger if you made one big one) 
Topping are endless. I've done so many and generally cut this into 2 circles and fill one up with one thing and then one another. filling I've used for the entire batch: 1C chocolate chips but dh doesn't like his breakfast to ever have chocolate so I basically enjoyed them * 1C cranberries or raisins * sprinkle sugar on top of these and just added sliced almonds *for topping you can add a glaze of whatever flavor you're using ...mine is more of a fruit dip that I piped on, but you can use lemon or orange zest extract mixed with confectioners' sugar * orange extract, grated orange rind, allspice, and ginger * endless possibilities THE RECIPE * 1C low-fat sour cream * 1t baking soda * 4C flour * 1 1/4C sugar * 2t baking powder * 1/4t cream of tartar * 1t salt * 1t vanilla * 1t cinnamon * 1/2t nutmeg * 1 cup ROOM TEMP butter * 1 egg * add filling, whatever you want or even just sugar sprinkled on top DO NOT OVERMIX. If you're baking right away... oven 350 Mix flour, baking powder & soda, cinnamon, cream of tartar, nutmeg, salt. In another bowl, mix sugar, vanilla, and your room temp butter that you cut up first. Then throw in first bowl (don't bother mixing). Finally throw in sour cream and whatever toppings. Again, DO NOT overmix. This makes or breaks recipe. Once blended, put on floured surface (I used confectioners sugar so it had the perfect amount of sweetness) ...push with your hands (didn't use roller) into one big circle or two until thickness is 3/4" all around. Cut into 12 triangles if it's one big one or 8 if you're doing 2 circles. 
Lightly grease baking sheet. Bake until bottom is LIGHT brown ...12 min. OR freeze on baking sheet for 1hr and take out and store on top of each other or however the heck you want. Should be good for ~2 months. Then when ready, take out and put on baking sheet and bake for about 38-40 min. A little less or more depending on oven. |

question..... my hubby loves scones. but he likes them crunchy. not cake like. what are these like? |
| They're a little biscuity and crunchy on the outside. For these, I really think it depends on how long you bake them. I've baked them before for 40 min out of the freezer and they were more crunchy, esp if you didn't eat them while warm ...but they always seem a little chewier in the middle.
The dip I use which I totally recommend with ANY fruit ..but they just happen to taste great on top of this is: * 3 oz room temp cream cheese * 1.5T sugar * 1 pinch salt * 1C heavy whipping cream Mix all together in blender until stiff peaks form (i taste and add more sugar if needed) |

This is EASY and sooo good! 8 ounces of cream cheese - softened 1 small container Marshmallow Cream- -( the short squatty one-- not sure of the ounces) Mix together. Great with all fruits, and I bet- on Jo's scones  |
