Preparation Steps
1
Activate the yeast: In lukewarm milk, stir in sugar and yeast. Let it stand for 10 minutes, until frothy.
2
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in the butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3
Finely chop the fresh herbs and stir them into the flour mixture.
4
Add sour cream, egg, and the activated yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
5
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to about ¾ inch (2 cm) thickness. Fold the dough in thirds three times to create layers.
6
Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 30 minutes to rise.
7
Roll out the dough again to about ¾ inch (2 cm) thickness and use a scone cutter to cut out the shapes.
8
Place the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush the tops with beaten egg.
9
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
