Perfect Scones

Love scones? You’ll love this recipe. It’s quick, simple and only takes minutes to make. Despite the simple baking process, the taste is out of this world. Make them this weekend, take a photo and tag Cooking With Abbey on Instagram.

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. In a food processor, and yes you kind of need a food processor, add flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Blend for a couple pulses.
3. Add the cold butter and pulse a few times. You are looking for a consistency which resembles cornmeal. Don’t over mix or you will melt the butter.
4. Add mixture to a large bowl and stir in lemon zest.
5. Add the vanilla to your milk, then add the wet ingredients, and blueberries (for a full batch of blueberry) to the dry. Carefully mix with a spoon or your hands until you are able to form a dough ball.
6. Divide the dough into two equal balls, add blueberries to half if you’re looking for a mixed batch.
7. Flatten the dough balls with your hands to form 6-7 inch discs of an even thickness.
8. Cut, like a pizza, into 8 equal sized pieces.
9. Bake for about 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Keep an eye on the bottom as they may burn if over cooked.
10. Serve warm with whipped butter and your favorite jam!
