The scone recipe is quite simple, but what makes them truly sweet is the sugar-honey mixture that gets drizzled over the top.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 C. all purpose flour
  • 1 Tbs. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 8 Tbs. (1 stick) cold butter, cut up
  • 1/2 C. sugar
  • 2/3 C. milk
  • White Sauce:
  • 1 C. sour cream
  • 2 Tbs. sugar
  • 2 Tbs. honey

Directions

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Put flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Stir to mix well. Add butter and cut in with a pastry blender or rub with fingers until mixture looks like fine granules.

Add sugar; toss to mix. Add milk and stir with fork until a soft dough forms. Form dough into a ball, put onto a lightly floured board, and give 10-12 kneads. Roll out dough to about 12x15 1/2 inches. Cut out, reroll, and cut out scraps. Bake 12 minutes or until medium brown. Serve with white sauce.

To make white sauce, combine all ingredients well.
