Sugared Scones
Ingredients
- 3 cups (750 ml) unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) sugar
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) salt
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) unsalted butter, cold
- 1 1/4 cups (310 ml) milk
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) white vinegar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) water
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) coarse sugar
Instructions
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, combine the dry ingredients. Add the butter and pulse until it is the size of peas. Add the milk, vinegar and pulse just enough to moisten the flour.
- On a floured work surface, roll out the dough with a rolling pin or with your fingers to about 2.5-cm (1-inch) thick. With a 5-cm (2-inch) in diameter cookie cutter, cut out scones. Evenly space on the baking sheet.
