Ingredients
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
– 3/4 cup cold milk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. – Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. – In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
3. – Cut in the chilled butter using a pastry blender or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. – In a separate bowl, combine the cold milk and vanilla extract.
5. – Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until a shaggy dough forms.
6. – Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead a few times.
7. – Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick round. Cut into 8 wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
8. – Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
9. – Serve warm, dusted with additional powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
For a sweeter scone, you can increase the sugar to 1/3 cup. You can also add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts to the dough for extra crunch and flavor.
