Tips

  • No butter is used; sour cream creates a cakey, rich consistency.
  • You can customize the add-ins, such as lemon zest, orange zest, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, coconut, or peanut butter, ensuring to substitute for the exact weight amount to maintain the recipe's consistency.
  • Coat each scone in sour cream and then dunk it into brown sugar to create a perfect crust on the outside.
