Scone Ingredients
Method
Scone Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Cut in Butter
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, mix together the heavy cream and vanilla extract.
Combine Mixtures
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. If using, fold in any optional add-ins.
Shape the Dough
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it just until it holds together. Pat it into a circle about 1-inch thick.
Cut and Bake
Cut the dough into wedges or use a round cutter to make individual scones. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool and Serve
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with butter, jam, or clotted cream.
