Fabulous Fig Scones

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup figs, chopped (you can use dried or fresh)
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 orange (optional)
  • Additional sugar for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
  3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Fold in the chopped figs, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, vanilla extract, and orange zest if using.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  7. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut into wedges or use a biscuit cutter to create rounds.
  8. Place the scones on the lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with a bit of buttermilk and sprinkle with sugar.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  10. Let them cool slightly before digging in. Serve warm or at room temperature—either way, they’re a hit!
