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!
