Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add the chilled, cubed butter to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Be sure not to overwork it, as small pieces of butter will help create flaky scones.
Once the butter is incorporated, transfer the scone mix to an airtight container or large zip-top bag. Label with the date and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
When ready to make scones, measure out 2 1/2 cups of the prepared mix into a mixing bowl, then follow your preferred scone recipe by adding wet ingredients and mix-ins of your choice (e.g., cream and fruit for sweet scones, or cheese and herbs for savory scones).
