Tender and Flaky Scones with a Spiced Twist

Tender and Flaky Scones with a Spiced Twist are a perfect breakfast or tea-time treat that will leave you craving for more. These scones are made with a unique blend of spices that add a warm and comforting flavor to the classic scone recipe.

To make 8-10 scones, you will need the following ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

To start, preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix the dough.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it gently for a few seconds. Pat the dough into a circle that is about 1 inch thick. Use a sharp knife or a biscuit cutter to cut the dough into 8-10 wedges or circles.
Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with a little bit of buttermilk. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
These Tender and Flaky Scones with a Spiced Twist are best served warm with a dollop of whipped cream or jam. The scones have a light and fluffy texture with a delicate crumb that melts in your mouth. The warm spices add a cozy and comforting flavor that is perfect for a chilly morning or afternoon.
