Preparation Steps
1
Activate the yeast: In the lukewarm milk, stir in the sugar and yeast. Let it stand for 10 minutes until foamy.
2
In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3
Finely chop the pork cracklings and mix with the sour cream to form a creamy paste.
4
Add the egg, activated yeast, and crackling mixture to the flour. Mix thoroughly to form a dough.
5
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 2 cm thickness. Fold the dough in thirds three times to create layers.
6
Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest for 30 minutes to allow the dough to rise slightly.
7
Roll out the dough again to about 2 cm thickness. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out the scones.
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.

Let cool slightly before serving fresh, soft, and flavorful.
