Delicious Buttermilk Scone Recipe

Introduction

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the cold butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter, two knives, or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times until it comes together.
7. Shape the dough into a circle that is about 1-inch thick, then cut it into eight equal wedges.
8. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with a little extra buttermilk.
9. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
10. Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
