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
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries (optional)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream, for brushing
- 1 tbsp coarse sugar, for sprinkling
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Add the cold butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
-
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and vanilla extract. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
-
If using dried cranberries, gently fold them into the dough.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough a few times until it comes together, then pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
-
Use a sharp knife or biscuit cutter to cut the rectangle into 8 equal squares or circles.
-
Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
-
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
-
Serve warm with butter, jam, or clotted cream.
