The Best Scones

These actually may not come out all that scone-like, and the scones are actually very good even without anything to dip them in. Try it either way or make a dipping sauce of your own.

Ingredients:

Scones:

• 2 cups flour
  
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
  
• 2 tablespoons sugar
  
• ½ teaspoon salt
  
• ¼ cup softened butter
  
• ¾ cup milk
  
• 1 beaten egg

Cream:

1 cup sour cream

• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400º. Mix together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a bowl. Cut in butter. Then mix in milk and egg. Roll to a 1-inch thick circle on a floured board, then transfer to baking sheet. Cut to make 6-8 wedges, without separating. Bake for 25 minutes. Make cream for dipping by mixing sour cream, brown sugar, and vanilla in blender.

Yield: 6-8 wedges, serves 2 with an appetite
