This lovely textured scone is from a chef at Hastings House, Canada. The key to its tenderness is not overhandling the dough. Best served with clotted cream, whipped cream with a touch of powdered sugar or marmalade. It's the easiest, best tasting scones I've ever come across.

These are easy-to-make eggless scones. Adding sugar is an option. Add cheese or herbs to the batter to make savoury scones. Or, add orange or lemon zest; dried raisins, dried blueberries, currants, dried cranberries, or other dried fruit, that have been plumped in hot water and drained. The possibilities are as endless as your imagination!

Time 35m

Yield 8 scones, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 cups flour
3 tablespoons sugar (optional)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
1 cup milk

Steps:

Whisk, or sift the dry ingredients.
Cut the butter into the flour, with a pastry blender, until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the milk. Add any optional ingredients, if desired.
On a floured surface, lightly knead the dough 5-10 times.
Place on a greased, or parchment lined, baking sheet. Flatten gently to a 1" thick round.
Cut, like a pie, into 8 wedges, but do not separate.
Brush the top with about 1 tablespoon milk. Sprinkle with sugar, if desired.
Bake 400 degrees, 12 -15 minutes, until golden brown.

Tips:

Using cold butter is essential to create flaky scones. Keep the butter in the refrigerator until ready to use, and grate it on a large holed grater or cut it into small pieces with a pastry blender.
Do not overwork the dough. Overworking will result in tough scones. Mix the ingredients until they are just combined, and avoid kneading the dough.
Chill the dough before baking. This will help to further develop the flavor and texture of the scones.
Bake the scones in a hot oven. This will help to create a crispy exterior and a light and fluffy interior.
Serve the scones warm with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include clotted cream, jam, and butter.
