Scone Ingredients
Method
Baking Directions
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.
Cut in Butter
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Combine Mixtures
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and gently stir until just combined. Fold in the dried fruit.
Shape the Scones
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently just until it comes together. Pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick, then cut it into wedges.
Bake the Scones
Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with extra sugar if desired. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool and Serve
Allow the scones to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm.
