How To Make Scones (4 Ways)
From: Drew Kime @ cooklikeyourgrandmother.com/
My wife and daughters love visiting tea rooms to have … tea, apparently. And tiny little cucumber sandwiches and petits fours and scones. I didn’t do tea parties growing up, so let’s just say that’s all not my scene. Scones mostly show up at tea parties. Why ... no one knows. But hey, that’s where my wife picked up on scones, and they’re yummy so, “Yay, tea rooms!”.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Yield: 4 - 4½ dozen
Ingredients
6 cups flour
1 cup sugar
4½ tablespoons baking powder
1½ teaspoon salt
3¾ sticks butter (30 tablespoons), diced, room temperature
1½ cups buttermilk
milk or buttermilk (for glazing)
Optional mix-ins
1 cup raisins & 2 tablespoons orange zest -OR-
1 cup each craisins (dried cranberries) & chopped walnuts -OR-
1 cup each dried apricots & chopped pistachios -OR-
1 cup dried cherries and 2 tablespoons lemon zest
Instructions
Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Add the butter and cut in with a pastry cutter, or beat with a mixer, until it forms coarse crumbs.
Stir in the buttermilk to form a soft dough.
Divide the dough into four equal portions and add the mix-ins of you choice.
Roll out a quarter-inch to a half-inch thick and cut into circles, squares, or other shape.
Brush the top with milk or buttermilk.
Bake at 425°F for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.
Let cool and enjoy!
