To make Buttermilk Drop Scones, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
This recipe makes about 8 scones.
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the scones about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
When the scones are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve the scones warm or at room temperature, with butter, jam, or honey.
These Buttermilk Drop Scones are a perfect combination of sweet and tangy, with a light and fluffy texture that will melt in your mouth. They are a great way to start your day, and are sure to become a family favorite. Try making them this weekend and see for yourself!
