Sour Cream Scones...

I never really had a scone until I was probably 25 or so. I imagined them to be hard, flavorless, and dry; somewhere along the lines of eating a stone. The first time I had one was when I was working in pastry kitchens, and I was blown away! Soft, flaky, and slightly sweet. 

Working in large fancy hotels we had high tea, complete with small pastries, finger sandwiches, tea, and of course scones. Everything was perfectly displayed on beautiful dishes, the best linens were pulled out, everything was suit for a queen. I've never actually had the opportunity to attend high tea, but I dream of it. I see my girlfriends there wearing big obnoxious hats (cause that how we roll), eating like ladies, and drinking tea with pinkies pointed high. Ok, maybe not to that level but it does sound fun.
