- 2⅔ Cups All Purpose Flour Unbleached
- ⅓ Cup Sugar Granulated
- ¾ Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
- 8 Tablespoons Butter Cold, Unsalted
- 2 Large Eggs
- 3 Teaspoons Vanilla
- ¾ Cup Milk or left over heavy cream from scones
Step 1 - preheat oven to 375℉. Grease baking sheet and line with parchment
Step 2 - In large mixing bowl, mix together all dry ingredients. Cut the butter and mix with hands until the mixture is just crumbly.
Step 3 - In another bowl mix whisk the eggs, vanilla, and milk or cream. Add liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until moistened and it holds together.
Step 4 - Place the dough mound onto baking sheet, brush with milk.
Step 5 - Bake scones for 30 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from oven and let sit for 4-5 minutes to set. Slice into wedges. Serve with jam and homemade clotted cream.
You can also make these in a scone pan, but reduce the cooking time by 5 minutes.
We like our scones plain but you can add extra mix-ins.
