|English Scones|
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup + 1 tbsp granulated sugar
2 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp kosher salt
½ cup milk, at room temperature
½ cup buttermilk, at room temperature
2 eggs, at room temperature
⅓ cup unsalted butter, cubed and softened
assorted jams and cream
Steps:
Preheat oven to 450°F. In a mixing bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together. Then incorporate softened butter, until the mixture appears like crumbly light sand.
In another bowl, mix eggs, milk, and buttermilk. Pour into the dry ingredients, and mix just until combined. Be sure not to over mix.
Turn dough onto a clean, floured surface. Coat your hands with flour and knead the dough to spread and flatten into a rectangular disc. Use a cookie cutter or knife, to cut out your desired scones shape. You may gather the leftover dough to form more scones.
Place the scones on a silicone mat or parchment paper. Brush the tops with some buttermilk. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove from oven and allow to cool on a rack.
