My favorite scones recipe...
Ingredients
2 cups king Arthur all-purpose flour
I tablespoon baking powder
½ cup sugar
½ teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons butter
1 fresh egg
2/3 cup fresh buttermilk
¼ cup whole milk
-Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Mix the dry ingredients together first, then cut in the butter and egg. Slowly add the buttermilkto form a thick dough. Knead the dough on a board, roll to a 1-inch thickness, and cut the dough into 2-inch triangles. Place each triangle on a greased cookie sheet and brush the tops with milk. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Makes 12 scones.
Great for snacks, and even for lunch. ;)
I got this recipe from "The Secret Ingredient" by Laura Schaefer (a good book).
