Kendall Tavern Inn Bed & Breakfast Scones
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cold
3/4 cup milk
1 egg
Add fruit, chocolate chips & cherries, maple chips, dates, whatever you like.
In a medium bowl, place the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cut up butter. Cut butter in using a pantry cutter, 2 knives, or your fingers until the butter is the size of peas. Add the milk and mix just until the dough comes together and no lumps remain (add a little more milk if mix is too dry). Use a scone pan or press the dough into a round that is roughly 1 inch thick and cut into wedges, and place on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 20-25 minutes until scones are lightly browned and a pick comes out clean. Serves 10
