Snickerdoodle scones

All right guys sorry for the wait but here is one of my favorite scone recipes. It is essentially foolproof and comes out perfect for me every time. I found this recipe while I was in college and I love using it because I have most of the ingredients on hand always. I found this recipe at food.com, which is by far one of my favorite recipe sites around, and have been using it ever since

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  •  1/2 teaspoon baking soda 
  • 2 cups flour 1/2 cup sugar 
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  •  1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar 
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  •  1/2 cup butter 
  • 1 egg
  •  2 teaspoons cinnamon 
  • additional cinnamon sugar 
Directions:
 1 Preheat oven to 350ยบ. 
2 Spray baking sheet with cooking spray. 
3 Combine sour cream and baking soda in a small bowl. Set aside.
 4 Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cream of tartar and salt in another bowl.
 5 Cut in butter until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. 6 Combine egg with sour cream mixture. Add cinnamon.
 7 Gently stir into flour mixture until moistened. 
8 Place on baking sheet and pat into a 3/4 inch thick circle.

Notes:
Sour cream is good for keeping your scones moist, but you can also use plain yogurt 
Cream of tartar helps with the texture and it's in a lot of things like souffles.
