Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or spray them lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
2
In a small bowl, combine sour cream and baking soda, and set aside to allow it to create a bubbly mixture.
3
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, white sugar, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt until well combined.
4
Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs, with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining for flakiness.
5
In another bowl, whisk together the egg and the sour cream mixture, and add the cinnamon for a burst of flavorful aroma.
6
Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and gently stir until all ingredients are just moistened. Be careful not to overmix!
7
Knead the dough gently on a floured surface for no more than 10 times, just until it comes together.
8
Divide the dough into two equal parts and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Pat each portion into a round disc approximately 3/4 inch thick.
9
Using a sharp knife, cut each round into 6 wedge-shaped pieces, but do not separate them yet.
10
Spread the wedges apart to ensure they're not touching (at least 3 inches apart). Generously dust the tops with sugar and cinnamon for a sweet, crunchy topping.
11
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on top. Allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
