Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 4 cups flour
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 1/2 cups Saskatoon berries
- 225 grams package white chocolate chips
- 1 cup butter
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a small bowl combine the sour cream and baking soda together, this is going to poof up while you are mixing the rest of the recipe up.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- Cut in the butter using two knives scissor style or with a pastry blender until it resembles coarse peas in the flour mixture.
- Add in the sour cream and beaten egg, gently mixing until it's almost together.
- Once the mixture is this close to being completely combined, add in the bag of white chocolate chips.
- Mix gently again. Then when it's just ready, add in the Saskatoon berries. I usually have my mixture looking like this by the time the berries are in, almost combined.
- By the time you scoop it together in the bowl and roll it into a log, the ingredients are combined just just right. By now you have scooped it together and rolled it into one large log.
- This is the start of how you make perfect scones every time. Cut the log into three pieces. Flatten each round disk into a 6 inch square then cut into 6 equal triangles. I never do scones any other way now, this technique makes things so easy now.
- Take your 18 scones and place on a well-greased cookie sheet or parchment lined cookie sheet.
- Bake at 350 degrees until browned and beautiful, about 20 minutes.
