You can’t go wrong with a simple basic scone recipe.  I found this recipe on another YouTubers site (her site is Rhoda Stone).  I took her basic recipe and transformed it into my own recipe.  So below are the basic recipe that you could use and then also the other two that I created from the basic scone recipe.  Comment below if you try this recipe and tell me what you think and what you created.

Basic Simple Scones:

• 2 cups of flour
• 1 tablespoon of baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 6 tablespoons of butter
• Mix your dry ingredients together
• Next cut in the butter
• Add 1 beaten egg and milk to mixture
• Mix all together
• Next add to a lightly floured counter and roll into a ball
• Cut into 8-10 triangle pieces
• Place on a cookie sheet
• Beat 1 more egg
• Lightly brush the top of the scone with an egg wash
• Bake at 350 for 12 minutes

 

How to change this up with a twist?

Almond Scones:

• Do the same above but add 1 teaspoon almond extract to the wet ingredients
• After giving he egg wash sprinkle with sugar and add slivers of almonds to the top
• Bake as normal

Orange Marmalade Scones:

• Do the same as the above basic scone recipe and add 1 teaspoon of orange extract to the wet ingredients.
• Add 1/4 cup of orange marmalade to the wet ingredients
• Also add 1/2 extra cup of flour to the dry ingredients
• Bake as normal

 

Enjoy!!!
