Perfect Simple Classic Cream Scones

Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a medium-sized bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Grate butter into flour mixture on the large holes of a box grater; use your fingers to work in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal.

In a small bowl, whisk the sour cream and egg until smooth.

Using a fork, stir sour cream mixture into flour mixture until large dough clumps form. Use your hands to press the dough against the bowl into a ball.

Place on a lightly floured surface and pat into a 7 inch disk about 3/4-inch thick. Use a sharp knife to cut into 8 triangles; place on a cookie sheet, about 1 inch apart.

Bake until golden, about 15 to 17 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature.
