Traditional English Buttermilk Scones
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined.
-
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 2-cm (3/4-inch) thick round.
-
Use a floured 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 golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven and let the scones cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
