  • Yield: 12 servings
  • Cook: 30 minutes

Ingredients

4 1/2cups all-purpose flour
1/2cup granulated sugar
2teaspoons baking powder
1/2teaspoon baking soda
1/2teaspoon salt
3/4pound unsalted butter, cold and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3/4 sour cream
1/4cup + 1 tbsp water
1cup strawberries, halved or quartered if large
1cup blackberries
2 egg yolks
2tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line two baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt. Add in the butter in a few batches, pulsing to combine. The mixtures should resemble a coarse meal, with small chunks of butter still visible.
  3. In a small bowl or measuring cup, stir together the sour cream and water.
  4. Transfer flour/butter mixture to a large bowl and add in the berries. Add in the sour cream/water mixture and mix until the dough just begins to stick together (if it’s still too dry, add in water 1 tablespoon at a time).
  5. Turn the dough out onto a light floured surface and form into two 6-inch rounds. Slice each round in half, and each half into thirds. Place 6 scones on each lined baking sheet.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and milk. Using a pastry brush, brush the tops of the scone with the mixture.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
