I have had scones before...usually triangle shaped hockey puck. Nasty door stops. Nothing to write home to mom about......THEN.....THEN.....THEN.....I had THESE!!
OH MY....fluffy, tender, moist.....so yummy that they were all gone 10 min out of the oven...the kids, the husbands.....they coming running. :)
(these are not soaked...but I think can be easily converted...I will try that next)
Orange Cranberry Scones
1 C sour cream
1 tsp baking soda
4 C soft white wheat flour (sub unbleached white)
1 C sucanat (sugar)
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp cream of tarter
1 tsp salt
1 C butter
1 egg
1 C dried cranberries (craisins)
1 Tbs orange zest
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, blend sour cream and baking soda....Set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3. Lightly grease a large baking sheet.
4. In a large bowl, mix all dry ingredients.
5. Cut in cold butter.
6. Stir in sour cream mixture and egg into flour mixture until just moistened. DO NOT over mix. (but it does take some effort/time to incorporate)

Hi. I found the link to your blog while googling redheads+Chamomilla and it showed me a forum you are apart of. Anyways, you commented that Chamomilla only works for 75% of kids, but you knew what would work for redheads.
I have a 10m old redhead and he is teething and WOW is it ever horrible. I am having a hard time finding something that works and was using Chamomilla but it doesn't seem to help. Can you email me suggestions at maairou@comcast.net?
