GRANDMA'S SCOTTISH SCONES
I asked my grandma what made these scones so Scottish, she laughed and said, "that's what my mother called them." I have no clue how Scottish these scones are but they are delicious. In my house, I have to make a double batch, they go so fast.

Steps:
- 1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
- 2. Stir dry ingredients with a whisk, blend well.
- 3. Cut in butter until mixture resembles cornmeal.
- 4. Add whichever dried fruit you prefer. I have used blueberries, cranberries, cherries, raisins. When using dried cherries add 1/2 teaspoon almond extract with the wet ingredients.
- 5. Add sour cream and egg to flour mixture, stir until just moistened. (don't over work the dough or the scones will turn into hockey pucks)
- 6. Turn dough onto a floured surface, knead 6-8 times. (once again, don't over work the dough)
- 7. Gently pat the dough into a round about 1 inch thick.
- 8. Cut into 8 wedges.
- 9. Place 2 inches apart on a lightly greased baking sheet.
- 10. Bake 12-15 minutes or until golden brown
