Homemade Treats: Grandma Johnsons Scones

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: dried fruits, chocolate chips, or nuts for added flavor

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 until well combined.
  3. Add the cold butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Create a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
  5. If desired, fold in any additional ingredients like dried fruits or chocolate chips at this stage.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it just until it comes together. Pat the dough into a circle about 1-inch thick.
  7. Using a sharp knife or pastry cutter, cut the dough into wedges or use a round cutter for traditional shapes.
  8. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one. Brush the tops with a little extra cream for a beautiful golden crust.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden brown.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving warm with your favorite accompaniments.
