Serves:
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tbsp turbinado sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Stir in the lemon zest and orange zest.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla extract, and beaten egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick round.
-
Using a floured biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out rounds from the dough and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
-
Sprinkle the tops of the scones with turbinado sugar.
-
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before serving.
