  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1/4 tsp salt.
  2. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Stir in 1 cup buttermilk, 1 large egg, and your choice of mix-ins (see variations below).
  4. Gently fold the ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick circle.
  6. Cut the circle into 8 wedges using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
  7. Place the scones onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  8. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
