Ingredients
- 2.5 cups flour
- 1.5 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 10 tablespoon salted butter cold and cut into cubes
- ¼ cup fresh herbs chopped
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and cold cubed butter to a food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with small pieces of butter remaining.
- Add the chopped herbs and pulse a few times to distribute them evenly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and buttermilk.
- Transfer the flour mixture to a large bowl. Pour in the buttermilk mixture and gently stir just until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
- Divide the dough in half. Gently shape each half into a 6-to 7-inch circle about ¾ to 1 inch thick on the prepared baking sheet.
- Cut each circle into 8 wedges and separate the wedges slightly on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or just until the scones are lightly golden around the edges and cooked through. Avoid overbaking.
- Let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving or transferring to a wire rack.
