How to Make King Arthur Flour Scones

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, vanilla extract, and milk.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix!
  6. Fold in the dried cranberries and walnuts (or your favorite add-ins).
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick round.
  8. Use a sharp knife or a biscuit cutter to cut the dough into 8 wedges.
  9. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  11. Let the scones cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite spread!
