About the Recipe
Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
2 1/2 c flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cream of tartar 3 oz butter cold
1 tbsp Tbs honey heaped
1/2 cup whole milk plus a bit more for brushing
Fruit or flavor of choice optional
INSTRUCTIONS
1 preheat your oven to 4500F. Grease and flour a baking sheet, or place a baking mat on it.
2 With a flour sifter or fine mesh sieve, sift the flour, salt, baking soda and cream af tartar inta a mixing bowl, then give them a whisk to make sure they're fully incorporated.
3 Cut the butter into small cubes. Rub the butter through your (very clean!) fingers into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
4 If adding, put in your blueberries, chocolate chips, orange zest, etc.
Make a well in the center of the mixing bowl, and pour in the honey and milk. Stir with a wooden spoon until the dough is just incorporated enough to handle (do not overmix).
Turn out the clough onto a floured surface, and knead lightly until the cracks in the dough are gone and it comes together evenly.
7 Shape into a ball, and then roll the dough out into a circle with a rolling pin. You'll want it to be about 1/2" thick.
8 using a pizza cutter or large knife, cut the dough into wedges about the size you want (12 for smaller scones, e for larger scones).
9 Transfer the wedges to the baking sheet. using a pastry brushi brush a bit of milk or cream onto the top of each scone. Bake for +10 minutes, or until the scones have risen and browned (about 5 minutes in a convection oven).
10 Eat them IMMEDIATELY with butter, jam, honey, or clotted cream. AS the source of this recipe says, "There is nothing in the world more dreary than day-old scones:'
