Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups optional add-ins (e.g., chocolate chips, dried fruit)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry blender or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine the milk and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour-butter mixture and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 5
If using optional add-ins, gently fold them into the dough at this stage.
Step 6
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently press it into a circle (about 1-inch thick), then cut into 8 wedges.
Step 7
Transfer the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each scone.
Step 8
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Step 9
Cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy the scones warm with your favorite toppings like clotted cream, butter, or jam!
