HOW TO MAKE PERFECT SCONES
Use this basic scone dough for any sweet scone variety. See blog post for a couple savory scone options. Feel free to increase the vanilla extract and/or add other flavor extracts such as lemon extract or coconut extract. Read through the recipe before beginning. You can skip the chilling for 15 minutes prior to baking, but I highly recommend it to prevent the scones from over-spreading.

Steps:
- Whisk flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder together in a large bowl. Grate the frozen butter using a box grater. Add it to the flour mixture and combine with a pastry cutter, two forks, or your fingers until the mixture comes together in pea-sized crumbs. See video above for a closer look at the texture. Place in the refrigerator or freezer as you mix the wet ingredients together.
- Whisk 1/2 cup heavy cream, the egg, and vanilla extract together in a small bowl. Drizzle over the flour mixture, add the add-ins, then mix together until everything appears moistened.
- Pour onto the counter and, with floured hands, work dough into a ball as best you can. Dough will be sticky. If it's too sticky, add a little more flour. If it seems too dry, add 1-2 more Tablespoons heavy cream. Press into an 8-inch disc and, with a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut into 8 wedges. For smaller scones, press dough into two 5-inch discs and cut each into 8 wedges. To make 10-12 drop scones: Keep mixing dough in the bowl until it comes together. Drop scones, about 1/4 cup of dough each, 3 inches apart on a lined baking sheet. To make mini (petite) scones, see recipe note.
- Brush scones with remaining heavy cream and for extra crunch, sprinkle with coarse sugar. (You can do this before or after refrigerating in the next step.)
- Place scones on a plate or lined baking sheet (if your fridge has space!) and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat(s). If making mini or drop scones, use 2 baking sheets. After refrigerating, arrange scones 2-3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet(s).
- Bake for 18-26 minutes or until golden brown around the edges and lightly browned on top. Larger scones take closer to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for a few minutes. Feel free to top with any of the toppings listed in the recipe Note below.
- Leftover scones keep well at room temperature for 2 days or in the refrigerator for 5 days.

Steps:
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, brown sugar, and cinnamon. You may have a few brown sugar lumps; that's fine. Work in the butter with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, heavy cream, and vanilla.
- Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients in. With a wooden spoon, stir just until a dough forms.
- Turn dough onto a floured surface and form into a disc about 1-inch tall. Cut into 8 wedges.
- Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet (a cookie sheet lined with a silpat is great, too) at 350 degrees for about 12 - 14 minutes until the scones begin to brown on the bottom.
- Remove from oven and let cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Add the butter and use your fingers to pinch the butter and the flour mixture together; when it's all combined, it will resemble large bread crumbs.
- 2. Use a wooden spoon to mix in the brown sugar and raisins, and then add the buttermilk. If the dough is quite sticky, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough has the texture of modeling clay. If it's too dry, add more buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it's wet enough.
- 3. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and roll it out into a rectangle 1/4 inch thick. Cut the dough into 12 (3-inch) squares. Leftover scraps can be rerolled to make more scones.
- 4. Oil a baking sheet. Fold each square of dough in half diagonally to form a triangle, and lay it on the sheet. Bake the scones until the tops are golden brown, about 30 minutes. Serve warm, with jam and a pot of hot tea if you like.
BROWN SUGAR SCONES
A recipe I found in my catalogue from King Arthur Flour. The recipes states "This traditional British scone is an ideal tea-time treat when served with clotted cream or butter and jam. It states to use their White Whole Wheat Flour, but I just use All purpose flour. I made the walnuts and raisins optional, depending on your families tastes.

- Pour the buttermilk into the center of the mixture and stir until dough is just cohesive.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and bring together into a ball. Roll or pat the dough to a 1" thickness. Cut rounds using a 2" round biscuit cutter and transfer to parchment lined baking sheet.
- Or, pat into a square and cut square scones.

- Brush scones with cream, and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake until they begin to brown, 20 to 22 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a rack.
ROCK/STONE SCONES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two sheet pans with parchment.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cayenne. Add the butter and toss gently to coat. Work the butter into the flour with the tips of your fingers until the mixture resembles rough cornmeal with pea-size bits of butter scattered throughout. Stir in the ham and cheese to evenly distribute.
- Whisk together the buttermilk and egg and add it to the butter-flour mixture; stir with a wooden spoon to distribute the moisture. Use your hands to gently bring the dough together, being careful not to overwork the dough.
- Drop 1/4-cup mounds of dough, spaced a few inches apart, onto the prepared pans. Bake until golden brown and the scones spring back when gently poked, 15 to 20 minutes.
WHOLE-WHEAT BUTTERMILK SCONES WITH RAISINS AND OATMEAL
You may be accustomed to the gigantic, sweet scones in coffee shops in this country. They are nothing like the diminutive, light scones that originated in Britain and Ireland. This is a whole-wheat version, only moderately sweet -- the way I think scones should be. You can always top them with jam or honey if you want more sugar. The whole-wheat flour brings a rich, nutty flavor to the scones.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Sift together flours, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt. Stir in oatmeal. Rub in butter, or place in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle and beat at low speed, or pulse in a food processor, until incorporated. Add buttermilk and raisins and mix just until dough comes together.
- Transfer to a lightly floured work surface and gently shape into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Cut either into 2-inch circles with a biscuit cutter or into 6 squares, then cut each square in half on the diagonal. Transfer to baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes, until browned on the bottom. Flip over, bake 2 more minutes, and remove from the heat. Serve warm or allow to cool.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
- Mix both flours, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda together in a large bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until dough is loose and crumbly. Add bananas and cut in with the pastry blender. Stir in milk and eggs until just combined; dough will be sticky but should come together into a ball.
- Divide dough in half. Form each portion into a mound on one half of the prepared baking sheet, then pat to flatten into a 3/4- to 1-inch high circle. Use a sharp knife to score each circle into 8 wedges, cutting about 1/3-inch deep.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes. Remove from the oven and break scones apart at the score lines.
