Sour Cream and Chive Scones

Ashley Manila

Incredibly thick and flavorful scones are made with sour cream and chives! Moist and crumbly all at once, we love serving these with soup or chili, but they also make wonderful breakfast sandwiches.

Servings 8 scones

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour (be sure not to pack your flour when measuring)
2 tablespoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon onion powder
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt (fine sea salt or kosher salt)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, very cold, cut into cubes
1 cup full-fat sour cream
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup fresh chives, chopped
1 large egg, beaten

Instructions

In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, onion powder, sugar, salt, and pepper; whisk well to combine. Quickly cut in the butter until the mixture is a course meal. Cover the bowl and place it in the freezer for 15 minutes.
While the dough is chilling...
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees (F) and set a rack on the upper-middle level. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Once the 15 minutes are up, gently stir the sour cream and milk into the flour mixture; the dough will be soft, sticky, and shaggy.
Lightly flour your hands, then gather the dough into a ball. Transfer the dough to a well-floured surface and pat the dough into a large rectangle approximately 2" inch thick. The dough will look very shaggy - not to worry!
Use a small round biscuit cutter to cut out about 8 scones, reshaping the dough as needed and using scraps to form new rounds of dough. Place the scone cut-outs onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space in between each one for slight spreading. Brush each scone with a little beaten egg.
Bake the scones for 18- 20 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown on top. Serve at once!
Or just eat them straight off the pan like we do... with sunny side up eggs and extra bacon.
