How to Make Sourdough Scones
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Cut 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter into small pieces. Cut the butter into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add 1/2 cup active sourdough starter to the bowl.
- Gently mix by hand until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 4 equal pieces.
- Gently press each piece into a 1/2-inch thick round.
- Cut each round into 4 wedges.
- Arrange the scones about 1 inch apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of the scones with heavy cream and sprinkle generously with coarse sugar.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
- Let cool slightly before serving and enjoy!
