A basic scone recipe for tender, moist, butter-y scones that are so quick and easy to make! Perfect as-is with just butter and jam, or you can get creative and add fruit, spices, or chocolate.

Ingredients

  • all-purpose flour
    2 c
  • granulated sugar
    ⅓ c
  • baking powder
    1 ½ tsp
  • kosher salt
    ½ tsp
  • unsalted butter

    cold

    ½ c
  • heavy whipping cream

    cold

    ½ c

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment.

  2. 2

    Place the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of a food processor, and pulse to combine.

  3. 3

    Cut the butter into pieces, and add to the food processor.

  4. 4

    Pulse the food processor until the mixture resembles coarse meal.

  5. 5

    With the food processor running on low speed, stream in the cream.

  6. 6

    When the dough has gathered itself into a ball, turn off the food processor and divide the dough into two equal portions.

  7. 7

    Flatten each portion of dough into a disc shape, about 1 1/2-inches thick.

  8. 8

    Score each disc into 6 triangles with a knife, and pull the triangles slightly away from one another (allowing about 1/2-inch in between).

  9. 9

    Bake the scones until set in the centers and slightly golden on the bottoms (approx. 14 to 18 minutes).
