Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter, cold
• ¹⁄₄ cup Brown sugar
• ¹⁄₂ cup Grated carrot
• ¹⁄₄ cup Raisins
• ¹⁄₄ cup Chopped walnuts
• ¹⁄₄ cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
3. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Stir in the brown sugar, grated carrot, raisins, and chopped walnuts.
5. In a separate small bowl, mix together the milk and vanilla extract. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a circle about 1-inch thick.
7. Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into 8 wedges. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet.
8. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the scones are golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and let the scones cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.
