Ingredients
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, very cold
  • 2 eggs
  • cup milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • Thick jam or fruit preserves
  • 1 large egg, beaten well
  • 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.

Mix dry ingredients together.

Cut butter into the dry ingredients using a fork or hand-held pastry blender. When well blended, the mixture will have the look of crumbly sand.

Add the vanilla, eggs, and milk, mixing only long enough to blend the ingredients. *You do not want to begin to melt the butter into the flour mixture by over-mixing.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured counter top or pastry board. Shape it into a round disc 8 inches across, slightly thicker in the center.

Using a long knife, cut the dough into eight even pie-shaped portions.

Place scones on a lightly greased baking sheet. Using a spoon, press a well into the wide end of each triangle, and fill the well with a spoonful of fruit jam.

Brush the exposed surface of each scone with the milk/egg mixture,

Bake for twenty-five minutes, until scones are a beautiful golden brown.
