Whole Wheat Blueberry Sour Cream Scones

Whole Wheat Blueberry Sour Cream Scones

To most, this probably doesn't look like a frugal recipe...  However, they wouldn't know that we got donated a whole lot of sour cream!  I need to get it used up, so it's going into everything that's reasonable.  On Sunday, it was:

Whole Wheat Blueberry Sour Cream Scones
Makes 8

This wholesome recipe feels like it's totally decadent!  The icing at the end is optional, honey would be marvelous.

Pre-heat the oven to 400F.  Line 1 large or two medium sized baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, with an electric mixer or by hand, combine until the mixture resembles fine crumbs:

2 cups whole wheat flour (pastry preferred)
2 tablespoons potato starch or cornstarch
8 packets Truvia-type sweetener
2 tablespoons coconut sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
5 tablespoons butter

Add and combine till the mixture sticks together:
1 cup sour cream
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (I make my own.  Recipe here.)

Add and carefully mix together with the batter:
1/2 cup blueberries

Don't over mix or the blueberries will get broken and the dough will become purple.  I let my paddle go around maybe twice.

Place about a 12" sheet of either parchment paper or waxed paper on a work surface.  Sprinkle it with some flour and turn the dough out onto it.  Put some flour on the top of the dough and press it out into about a 10" circle that is about 1/2" thick.  Using a knife dipped in flour, cut the dough into 8 pieces.  Carefully place the wedges of dough onto the baking sheet lined with parchment paper.



Please note:  I used 1 medium sized baking sheet for my scones.  When they were done, they were all stuck together -- they puffed up a lot more than I expected!  I would recommend only putting four of them on a sheet and baking them in two batches.

Bake the scones at 400F for about 15 minutes.  Allow them to rest on the baking sheet about 5 minutes before frosting, (if desired), and serving.
