Directions

1. Prepare the Dough:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.

   

3. If using, stir in your choice of dried fruit, chips, nuts, or Jammy Bits.

2. Mix Wet Ingredients:

1. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, vanilla extract (or your choice of flavor), and half-and-half or milk.

   

2. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until everything is moistened and holds together.

   

3. Shape and Chill the Dough:

1. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it in half.

2. Shape each half into a 5" (for plain) or 6" (if add-ins are used) circle, about 3/4" thick.

   

3. Cut each circle into 6 wedges and place on a prepared baking sheet. Brush with milk and sprinkle with coarse sugar or cinnamon sugar, if desired.

   

4. Separate the scones slightly and chill in the freezer for 30 minutes to relax the gluten and chill the fat.

4. Bake:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F with a rack in the upper third.

2. Bake the chilled scones for 18 to 23 minutes, or until they are light golden brown. Check that they are baked through by ensuring the edge looks dry and the scones feel set.

3. Let the scones cool briefly on the pan, then serve warm with butter, jam, or as is.
