Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup Sour Cream; 1 teaspoon Baking Soda; 3 cups All-purpose Flour; 1 cup White Sugar; 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder; 1 teaspoon Salt; 1 cup Unsalted Butter, Cold And Cut Up Into One Inch Cubes; 1 cup Quick Oats; 1 cup Dried Cranberries; 1 whole Egg; 1 Tablespoon Milk

Servings: persons

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2
Mix together sour cream and baking soda in a small bowl and set aside.
3
In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Using a pastry blender (or two forks), cut in the butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4
Stir in rolled oats and cranberries. Then, stir in the sour cream a little bit at a time. The dough will start to come together.
5
On a clean surface, flip out the dough. Knead together the dough so that it fully comes together.
6
Once all the dough has become one big piece, lightly flour the countertop. Form dough into a ball and then roll out into a disc that is about 7 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick.
7
Cut into eight equal pieces.
8
Place scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
9
In a small cup, beat together the egg and milk. Using a pastry brush, brush the scones with the egg wash (two coats per scone).
10
Bake in a preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until scones are brown and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the middle of a scone.
11
Serve warm or at room temperature with butter, jam, clotted cream or by itself.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
