How To Make Fruit Scones
These delicious fruit scones are perfect for a breakfast treat or afternoon snack. They are light, fluffy, and packed with sweet fruity flavors.
Serves:
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/2 cup dried fruits (such as raisins, cranberries, or cherries)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream (for brushing)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Stir in the dried fruits until evenly distributed.
-
In a separate small bowl, mix together the milk and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until the dough comes together.
-
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
-
Roll out the dough to about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thickness. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out scones and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
-
Brush the tops of the scones with the heavy cream and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
