Sour Cream & Raisin Scones

These are to die for! They are not Low FODMAP, Gluten Free or Dairy Free! They are just plain good!

This also does not fit into the theme of a recipe from my heritage! But they are just THAT good! I had to include in this blog. I have been making these on and off for years and since my IBS or SIBO has been better….I made them again this fall.

I also have to say thank you to my readers for hanging in there on this blog that really lacks a theme! I am working on learning how to blog and how to develop a better theme

INGREDIENTS

1 cup sour cream

1 tsp baking soda

4 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup white sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp cream of tartar

1 tsp salt

1 cup butter (I often use less and still turns out well)

1 egg

1 cup raisins (Or chocolate chips are also good)

In a small bowl, blend the sour cream and baking soda and set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a large baking sheet. In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, cream of tartar and salt. Cut in the butter. Sitr the sour cream mixture and egg into the flour mixture until just moistened. Mix in the raisins. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead briefly. roll or pat dough into a 3/4-inch-thick round. Cut into 12 wedges and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake 12-15 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown on the bottom.

My husband does not like raisins so I usually make half with raisins and half with chocolate chips.

I think they are just fantastic! I had to share!:)
