Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour with the chilled butter using your fingertips or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the milk and sour cream to the mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be somewhat sticky.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times until it comes together.
- Pat or roll the dough to a thickness of about 1-inch (2.5 cm). Using a round cutter or a glass, cut out scones and place them on the prepared baking sheet. You should get around 6-8 scones depending on the size of your cutter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
- While the scones are cooling, mix the softened cream cheese with the fresh dill in a small bowl until well combined.
- Once the scones have cooled to a warm temperature, split them in half horizontally.
- Spread a generous amount of the dill cream cheese mixture on the bottom half of each scone.
- Layer with thin slices of smoked salmon, then place the top half of the scone back on.
- Serve the sour cream scones with smoked salmon warm or at room temperature. They pair wonderfully with a fresh salad or as part of a brunch spread. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Make sure the butter is cold to create flaky layers in the scones.
- Don't overmix the dough to prevent the scones from becoming tough.
- Use fresh dill for the best flavor.
- Chill the scones in the refrigerator for a few minutes before baking to help them rise higher.
- Serve the scones warm and, for added richness, consider spreading a little extra cream cheese on top before adding the smoked salmon.
With their buttery, flaky texture and savory filling, these sour cream scones with smoked salmon are sure to become a favorite. They not only look impressive but taste absolutely delightful, making them perfect for any occasion. Serve them warm to fully enjoy their rich, savory flavors.
