Woke up craving for scones. Went to my pantry and found all the ingredients I needed. when I was looking for milk in my fridge, I couldnt find it, then I thought "what's the difference between milk and sour cream". My mind said "huge difference!" But I said to myself, let me just try it. To my surprise they came out perfect and tastey too!
