Ingredients
-
2 ¾ cup pastry flour
-
½ cup granulated sugar
-
¼ cup buttermilk powder
-
1 tablespoon baking powder
-
1 tablespoon vanilla powder
-
¾ teaspoon sea salt
-
¼ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold, cut into pieces
-
⅓ cup whole milk, additional for brushing the top of the scone
-
1 large egg, room temperature
-
Ann Clark Sparkling Sugar
Directions
Preheat oven 400°F.
Whisk flour, sugar, buttermilk powder, baking powder, vanilla powder and salt, until combined, in a large bowl.
Add in cold butter into the large mixing bowl, work in with a pastry blender or fingers, until it resembles coarse, even crumbs.
Gently mix milk and egg, add to the large bowl, until combined with a fork.
Transfer the dough to a work surface and form into a rectangle and fold (using floured hands or bowl scraper) horizontally in thirds (like you are folding a piece of paper to go into an envelope).
Gently, repeat until it just starts to hold together, forming into a 6-inch circle.
Brush with additional milk and sprinkle tops with Ann Clark Sparkling Sugar.
Bake in preheated oven, until golden on the edges, about 15 minutes.
