Morning Bakes

Baking is both an art and a science! To enhance your baking skills, understanding the fundamentals of sourdough is essential. Sourdough utilizes wild yeast and bacteria for fermentation, giving your baked goods a unique flavor and texture. Scones are a versatile treat; they can be sweet or savory, making them ideal for breakfast or tea time. For this recipe, start with a well-fed sourdough starter to ensure that your scones rise perfectly. Incorporating crushed Oreos adds a delightful twist that everyone will love. Preheat your oven and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper before you begin. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Gradually add in your sourdough starter and cream to create a dough. Fold in crushed Oreos gently to avoid overmixing. After shaping the dough into desired scone sizes, brush with milk for a golden finish. Bake until they are puffy and lightly browned. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven for a scrumptious morning treat! Experiment with different mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts to discover your favorite variations!
