1/2 cup sour cream                   1/2 t salt
1 egg                                        2 t cinamon
2 cups flour                              1/4 t nutmeg
1/2 cup sugar                            1/2 cup cold butter,cut
1/2 t baking soda                                   up in pieces
1 t baking powder                      1/8 t cream of tartar

Cinnamon/sugar topping:
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 t cinnamon

Spiced Glaze:
1 cup + 3 T powdered sugar      2 T milk
1/2 t cinnamon                          1/4 t nutmeg

Whisk sour cream and egg; set aside. Whisk together in food processor bowl flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cream of tartar, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add butter and toss with a fork to cover in flour mixture. Pulse until mixture looks like coarse cornmeal, about 10-12 pulses. Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add sour cream mixture; fold with a spatula until just combined. Transfer dough to lightly floured surface. Knead dough 6 to 8 times, until it just holds together. Shape into a 8 inch circle. Sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar mixture. With a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into 8 wedges. Place wedges on parchment lined baking sheet and bake @ 350 for 15-18 minutes. While scones are cooling, make glaze. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix until you achieve a thick icing. Drizzle over scones and serve.

8 scones.
