Brunch Scones

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1/2 cup dried fruits (like cranberries or raisins)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the cubed cold butter into the flour mix. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the cream, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. If you’re adding dried fruits, fold them in now!
  5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead a couple of times until it holds together. Pat it into a circle that’s about 1-inch thick.
  6. Cut the dough into wedges or use a biscuit cutter for round scones. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake scones for 15-20 minutes or until they’re lightly golden on top. Keep an eye on them—they’ll be ready when they’re fluffy and golden brown.
  8. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. These scones are best enjoyed warm, and you can top them with butter, jam, or whatever tickles your fancy!

And there you have it, folks! These brunch scones are sure to elevate any gathering. So get in the kitchen, turn on your favorite tunes, and let’s make something delicious! Your taste buds and your guests will thank you!
