🥘 Ingredients:
- 10 cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ cups sugar
- 5 tbsp baking powder
- 2 tsp salt
- 2½ cups cold butter (cubed)
- 4 cups milk (or buttermilk for richer flavor)
- 2 tbsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 4 eggs
👉 Optional add-ins: raisins, chocolate chips, blueberries, or cheese
👨🍳 Instructions:
1. Preheat
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F)
- Line baking trays with parchment paper
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a very large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt
3. Cut in Butter
- Add cold butter and mix with your hands or a pastry cutter until crumbly (like coarse sand)
4. Add Wet Ingredients
- In another bowl, whisk milk, eggs, and vanilla
- Pour into the dry mixture and gently mix until a soft dough forms
❗ Don’t overmix (this keeps scones soft!)
5. Shape
- Divide dough into portions
- Pat into thick circles (about 2–3 cm thick)
- Cut into triangles or rounds
6. Bake
- Place on trays and bake for 15–20 minutes until golden brown
🔥 Tips:
- Keep butter very cold for flaky texture
- Brush tops with milk or egg wash for a golden finish
- Sprinkle sugar on top before baking for a bakery-style look ✨
