How to Make Atwood Inn Breakfast Scones

  1. Whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups buttermilk, ½ cup Crisco shortening (or vegetable shortening), 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or other desired flavoring).
  3. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Gently fold in 1 cup of your favorite chopped fruit (e.g., blueberries, cranberries, raspberries) and ½ cup of your favorite chopped nuts (e.g., pecans, walnuts, almonds).
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a 1-inch thick circle.
  6. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the circle into 8 wedges.
  7. Place the scones onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  8. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
  10. Serve warm with butter, honey, jam, or flavored cream cheese. Enjoy!
