Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.125 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (cold)
- 1.5 tablespoons Milk (any type)
- 0.25 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Optional: mini chocolate chips, dried fruit, or nuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut the cold butter into small pieces and mix it into the dry ingredients using a fork or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate small bowl or cup, stir together the milk and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. If you're adding mix-ins like chocolate chips or dried fruit, fold them in now.
Lightly flour your hands and form the dough into a small round disc, about 3 inches in diameter and 3/4 inch thick.
Place the scone on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden.
Let the scone cool for a few minutes before enjoying it warm with a pat of butter, clotted cream, or jam.
