Easy Thanksgiving Treats

Thanksgiving morning it would be great to wake up to these scones coming out of the oven. They are so easy to make and taste wonderful! They are from my new favorite cookbook by Pam Anderson, Recipes for Having People Over. (See post below!) Heck, our own people, the ones we live with and love, should get the good things we would make for company, right?

I made these twice last week! They flew out of the house..the kids and my husband grabbed them on the way out the door for their daily commute!

SIMPLE SCONES

1/2 c. sour cream

1 lg egg

2 cups flour

6 tbs sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/2 c raisins

8 tabs (1 stick) butter, FROZEN

Set oven to 400 degrees. Whisk sour cream and egg in small bowl until smooth. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and raisins in medium bowl. Grate butter into flour mixture, using large holes of grater. Toss to combine. Stir in sour cream mixture until large lumps of dough form. Use your hands to press dough against sides and bottom of bowl to form a ball. (there may not seem like enough liquid at first, but as you press, the dough will come together).

Place dough on lightly floured work surface ...

Pat into a 7 inch circle about 3/4 inch thick. Use sharp knife to cut into 8 triangles.

Place about 1 inch apart on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper (easy cleanup!)

Bake until golden, 15 minutes. Serve warm eith tea, coffee, jelly, YUMMY!!!!!!!!!

Your family will thank you! :0) Wish we could share them together!
