INGREDIENTS:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
2 and 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 stick unsalted butter
1/2 cup heavy cream or buttermilk
1 large egg
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1-1.5 cups add-ins such as chocolate chips, berries, etc.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Whisk flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder together in a large bowl. Grate the frozen butter in using a box grater. Add it to the flour mixture using a pastry cutter, 2 forks, or your fingers until the mixture comes together in pea-sized crumbs. Place in the refrigerator as you mix the wet ingredients together.
Whisk 1 cup heavy cream, the egg, and the vanilla extract together in a small bowl. Drizzle over the flour mixture, add the add-ins, then mix together till everything appears moistened.
Pour onto 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 flour. If it seems too dry, add 1-2 Tablespoons heavy cream. Press into an 8" disc, and with a sharp knife cut into 8 wedges. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange scones 2-3 inches apart on baking sheet. Bake for 18-26 minutes or until golden brown around the edges and lightly browned on top. Enjoy!
OK, so my scones didn't really look like the pictures of scones, but then again, I did make drop scones. You take 1/4 cup of dough and drop it on a baking sheet, and then bake it like you would the triangular ones. So they weren't the picture perfect pastry you think of when you hear the word 'scone'. But I put in chocolate chips, and after they were baked, I sprinkled powdered sugar on top, and they were quite delicious😋😋.
