Buttermilk Scones (Biscuits)
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined.
-
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
-
Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle. Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out scones and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.
