Ingredients
- 2 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 stick Unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 1/2 cup Optional: Raisins or other dried fruits
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla extract, and egg.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. If desired, fold in raisins or other dried fruits.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick round.
- Use a round cutter to cut out scones from the dough. Place the scones onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the scones cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.
