Preparation Steps
1
Activate the yeast: in lukewarm milk, mix in the sugar and yeast, then let it stand for 10 minutes until foamy.
2
In a large bowl, combine the flour, ground walnuts, and salt. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
3
Add the sour cream, egg, and activated yeast mixture, then knead the dough thoroughly until smooth.
4
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 2 cm thickness. Fold the dough in thirds three times to create flaky layers.
5
Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 30 minutes to rise.
6
Roll out the dough again to about 2 cm thickness, then use a scone cutter to cut out the shapes.
7
Place the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush the tops with beaten egg.
8
Sprinkle the tops of the scones with ground walnuts, then bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
9
Let them cool slightly, then serve fresh, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
