Preparation Steps
1
In the lukewarm coffee milk, dissolve the brown sugar, then crumble in the yeast. Let it stand for 10 minutes until frothy.
2
In a large bowl, sift the flour, add the salt and ground coffee, then rub in the cold butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
3
Pour in the proofed yeast mixture, the sour cream, and the whole egg. Knead the dough until it becomes elastic.
4
Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
5
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 2 cm thickness, then fold it over several times to incorporate air.
6
Roll out again to 2 cm thickness, then use a scone cutter to cut out the scones. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7
Brush the tops with beaten egg, then sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
8
Let the scones cool on a wire rack, then serve fresh or store in an airtight container.
