Add the cold cubed butter, and combine until it resembles course sand. I like to use a potato masher.
½ cup cold butter
In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, egg and sun-dried tomatoes.
½ cup sour cream, 1 large egg, 2 ounces sun-dried tomatoes in oil
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix to combine. Toss in the black olives and work into the dough. Do not over mix.
2 ounces black olives
Place the dough on a floured silicone mat and knead a couple of times.
Form into an 8 inch disc and cut into 8 wedges.
Place scones onto the baking sheet, and bake for 15-17 minutes until lightly browned.
Remove from oven, and place onto a cooling rack.

Notes
Scones can be frozen and baked at a later date. Place cut scones on a baking sheet, and pre-freeze. Wrap each scone in plastic wrap, then put in a freeze bag. To bake, place on a parchment lined baking sheet. While the oven is preheating, the scones will begin to thaw. Bake as per instructions, adding a few extra minutes if necessary.
