How to Make Rich Sour Cream Scones From 1928

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup currants.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg yolk and 1/2 cup sour cream. Add to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 10 seconds. Avoid over-kneading.
  7. Pat or roll the dough into two 6-inch rounds, 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.
  8. Using a sharp knife, score each round into 8 wedges, but do not cut all the way through.
  9. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
