Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 1/2 cups bread flour; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1 teaspoon cream of tartar; 1 teaspoon baking soda; 1/2 cup white sugar; 1 teaspoon apple pie spice; 1/3 cup cold butter; 1 1/4 cups sourdough starter; 2 tablespoons milk (optional); coarse sugar, for garnish (optional)

Servings: persons

2 1/2 cups bread flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon apple pie spice
1/3 cup cold butter
1 1/4 cups sourdough starter
2 tablespoons milk (optional)
coarse sugar, for garnish (optional)

1
Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
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.
3
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.
4
Bake until the scones just start to turn golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
