Scone Sl Recipe

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it's hot enough to bake the scones.

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.

Prepare Butter

Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Add Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.

Fold in Mix-ins

Gently fold in the dried cranberries and chopped walnuts, being careful not to overmix the dough.

Shape the Dough

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut into wedges or use a biscuit cutter to cut into rounds.

Bake the Scones

Place the scones on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown.

Cool and Serve

Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with butter or jam.
