1

Gather your ingredients

Before diving into the scone madness, make sure you have the following items ready: flour, baking powder, salt, butter, sugar, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and your favorite mix-ins (see step 2 for suggestions).

2

Get creative with mix-ins

This is where the magic happens! Choose your mix-ins to jazz up the scones. You can use 1 cup of chocolate chips, dried cranberries, chopped nuts, or even a combination of these. If you're feeling adventurous, add a teaspoon of cinnamon or a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra kick!

3

Mix and shape the dough

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in the butter (don't worry, we won't tell the butter you're cheating on it) until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in your chosen mix-ins. Make a well in the center and pour in the buttermilk and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.

4

Cut and bake

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat it into a 1-inch thick circle. Using a sharp knife or a biscuit cutter, cut out scones and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with a little buttermilk for that extra golden finish. Pop them in the oven and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until they are beautifully golden.

Once the scones are out of the oven and have cooled slightly, get ready to indulge! Serve them warm with a pat of butter, clotted cream, or your favorite jam. They're perfect for breakfast, brunch, or any time you need a little pick-me-up. Be sure to share the joy with your loved ones!
