SAVORY ROSEMARY SCONE RECIPE
Scone Ingredients:
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary -- snipped
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary -- -crushed
- 1/8 teaspoon Pepper
- 1/4 cup Butter or margarine
- 8 ounces Sour cream
- 1 Egg yolk -- beaten
- 1 Egg white -- slightly beaten
Scone Preparation:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, rosemary and pepper. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; make a well in the center. In a small bowl, stir together sour cream and egg yolk; add all at once to flour mixture. With a fork, stir until combined. Mixture may seem dry. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Quickly knead dough, by pressing and folding, for 10 to 12 strokes, or until nearly smooth. Pat or lightly roll dough into a 7-inch circle; cut into 12 wedges. Arrange wedges on an ungreased baking sheet about one inch apart. Brush with egg white; sprinkle with additional rosemary, if desired. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until light brown. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Serve warm.
