Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar + more for the top
- 1/3 cup shortening
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 3/4 cup heavy cream + extra for the tops
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat and set aside.
- In the bowl of a food processor, measure out all dry ingredients and shortening. Pulse until the shortening is dispersed evenly in tiny little chunks. In a separate bowl, whisk egg, vanilla, and heavy cream together. Pour into dry ingredients and pulse until the dough starts to form.
- Dump the dough onto a floured work surface and work the dough until it comes together in a ball. Roll out to be 1 inch thick. Cut into 3-inch circles and place onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush with cream and sprinkle with more sugar.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until bottoms are lightly golden. Serve warm with ridiculous amounts of butter. And I guess jam if you're feeling up to it.
Notes
- Rising. Use fresh baking powder. Don't overmix. Measure your flour carefully.
- Storing. Any leftover English Scones can be stored at room temperature, for 4 days or in the fridge, for 2 weeks. Make sure to store covered or in an airtight container to preserve freshness.
- Reheat in the microwave, toaster, toaster oven, or oven! Or enjoy at room temperature.
- Freezing Baked. Bake scones as directed and cool. Freeze in an airtight bag or container for up to 4 months. To thaw, transfer the scones to the counter for a few hours or overnight in the fridge. Either warm in the microwave or in the oven, then enjoy!
- Freezing Unbaked. Once you are done cutting the dough into wedges or circles, freeze on a plate or baking sheet for at least an hour. Then transfer to an airtight bag or container and freeze for up to 4 months. To bake, either bake from frozen, adding a few minutes to the baking time or thaw overnight and bake as normal.
