Steps:
- Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 425°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk 3 cups flour and next 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Add butter; rub in with your fingers until mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Whisk 1 cup buttermilk, zest, and vanilla in a small bowl. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Stir until shaggy dough forms.
- Transfer to a lightly floured surface; knead until dough forms, about 5 turns. Pat into a 10x6" rectangle. Halve dough lengthwise. Cut each half crosswise into 4 squares. Cut each square diagonally in half into 2 triangles. Divide between baking sheets. Brush with 2 tablespoons buttermilk. Sprinkle with sanding sugar.
- Bake until scones are golden and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 13-15 minutes. Transfer to wire racks; let cool.
- Serve warm or at room temperature with lemon curd.
Tips:
- Use cold butter: Cold butter is essential for creating fluffy scones. When the butter melts in the oven, it creates steam which helps the scones to rise. If the butter is too warm, it will melt too quickly and the scones will be dense.
- Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the scones tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined, and then stop. If you overwork the dough, the scones will be dense and crumbly.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking helps to develop the flavor and makes the scones easier to handle. The scones can be chilled for up to 30 minutes before baking.
- Brush the scones with milk before baking: Brushing the scones with milk before baking helps to give them a golden brown crust. The milk also helps to keep the scones moist.
- Bake the scones until they are golden brown: The scones are done baking when they are golden brown. The scones should be baked for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
