Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Beat together the softened butter and sugar until creamy in a large bowl.
- Add the sourdough starter, egg, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until well combined.

Notes
Make sure your butter is soft but not melted for the best texture. Don’t overmix the dough; mix just until combined to keep the scones tender.
