List of Ingredients
2 cups All-purpose flour
1 tablespoon Sugar
1 teaspoon Sugar
1 teaspoon Baking soda
1 teaspoon Cream of tartar
1 teaspoon Salt
1 tablespoon Butter or margarine
1 cup Plus 2 tbsp. sour cream
Vegetable shortening -- for greasing
Butter/margarine -- to serve
Recipe
Sift flour, sugar, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt into a large bowl; then cut in the butter until the mixture resembles very fine bread crumbs. Using a fork, mix in enough sour cream to make a soft dough. Divide the dough in half. Using lightly floured hands, turn out the dough onto a well floured surface and then knead lightly until smooth. (The dough is soft so handle it gently. Do not let griddle get to hot, or scones will burn on the outside before being cooked on the inside).
Carefully shape the dough into 2 rounds, each 1/2 inch thick. Cut each roung into 6 equal wedges. Lightly grease a heavy skillet or griddle and heat over medium heat. Pour away any excess shortening, then cook the scones in batches for abour 4-5 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Regrease the skillet as necessary. Cool the scones on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Serve them the same day, spread generously with butter. Makes 12
