250g flour
120g white sugar
115g (1 Stick) Butter
1 Egg
120ml Buttermilk
1t Salt
2 1/2t Baking Powder
Vanilla
1 ½ cups of frozen fruit
Freeze butter for 30 minutes
Sift Flour, Sugar, Salt, Baking Powder together
Cut butter into flour mixture using a food processor or cheese grater, mix to combine and distribute the butter evenly.
Add egg, buttermilk and vanilla to the mixture and gently into the flour/butter mix to just barely incorporate the mixture so it holds its shape. Don’t overmix here or th scones will come out more bready then flaky.
Form dough into a 9 inch disk about ¾ inch thick, spread the frozen fruit on the counter and press the disk into the fruit so the fruit begins to go into the top of the scone
Refrigerate for 30 minutes
Preheat Oven to 425
Remove dough from the fridge and slice into 8 triangles, arrange triangles on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a cake tester can come out cleanly.
Let scones rest for 5 minutes and enjoy
Notes
To get a nice browning on your scone, right before they go into the oven brush an egg wash on each side, if scones are sweet feel free to sprinkle a little sugar and lemon zest on top as well
Scones don’t have to be sweet, you can make savory scones, our favorite is cheese and herb
To go extra sweet you can make a simple buttermilk icing with any flavoring you’d like to top your scone once they come out of the oven.
