How to Make Simply 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, sugar, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, gently whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined. Do not overmix!
  6. Fold in your chosen fruit (about 1 cup).
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick circle.
  8. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter or a sharp knife to cut out scones. Reroll scraps and cut out more scones.
  9. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  11. Let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy with clotted cream and jam (optional)!
