Master Scones Recipe (Any Flavor!)
Description
Use this basic scone dough for any sweet scone variety. See blog post for a couple savory scone options. Feel free to increase the vanilla extract and/or add other flavor extracts such as lemon extract or coconut extract. Read through the recipe before beginning. You can skip the chilling for 15 minutes prior to baking, but I highly recommend it to prevent the scones from over-spreading.
Ingredients
  • 2 cups ( 250g) all-purpose flour ( spooned & leveled), plus more for hands and work surface
  • ½ cup ( 100g) granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 and ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ cup (1 stick; 115g) unsalted butter, frozen
  • ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream or buttermilk (plus 2 Tbsp for brushing)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 and ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 to 1.5 cups add-ins such as chocolate chips, berries, nuts, fruit, etc
  • optional: coarse sugar for topping
