Buttermilk Scones Recipe
Ingredients
- Ingredients
- 2 cups (475 ml) flour
- 2 tsp (10 ml) baking powder
- 1/2 tsp (2 ml) baking soda
- 1/4 tsp (1 ml) salt
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) sugar
- 6 tbsp (90 ml) butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) plus 1/8 cup (30 ml) buttermilk
- 2 tsp (10 ml) vanilla
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) dried cherries, chopped
- Topping:
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) buttermilk or more
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) coarse sugar (optional)
Directions
- Preparation
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees (200 C.).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar and whisk to combine.
- Cut butter into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles very coarse meal.
- Stir in buttermilk and vanilla, adding the dried cherries as the dough starts to come together. The dough should be sticky but not runny. Do Not Overwork the dough.
- Sprinkle a little flour on a cutting board or counter top and turn dough onto surface.
- Form dough into a disc 1 inch thick and place on baking sheet.
- Cut the dough disk into 6-8 wedges using a knife or a pizza cutter.
- You may separate the scones or bake them together and break them apart after they're baked (I like to separate them).
- Brush with 1 tbsp (15 ml) buttermilk and sprinkle liberally with coarse sugar (sugar is optional).
- Bake at 400 degrees (200 C.) for 15-18 minutes, or until lightly browned.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
