Sunday Morning Scones
Soft, crumbly, and ready in under 30 minutes β best enjoyed with whipped honey, fruit spreads, or herby butter. Perfect for slow mornings, brunch tables, or a cozy tea break.
π Ingredients (makes ~8 scones)
250 g all-purpose flour
2Β½ tsp baking powder
50 g sugar
Β½ tsp salt
75 g cold butter, cut into small cubes
150 ml milk (any kind you like)
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
A little milk or beaten egg for brushing the tops
π΄ How to Make
Preheat your oven to 200Β°C (fan 180Β°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Add the cold butter cubes. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until it looks like breadcrumbs. Work quickly so the butter stays cold.
Pour in the milk and vanilla (if using), and mix gently with a spoon or spatula until a soft dough forms. Donβt overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat or roll into a 2β3 cm thick round. Cut into 6β8 wedges or use a round cutter.
Place on the baking tray, brush the tops with milk or egg, and bake for 15β18 minutes, or until golden and risen.
Let cool slightly (if you can wait!), then serve warm with your favorite Lisbets spread:
β Berry Best for a fruity treat
β Honey, Itβs Cocoa for chocolatey heaven
β Zest Friend Forever or Holy Herb! for a savory twist
π‘ Tips & Variations
Add a handful of dried fruit, lemon zest, or chopped nuts to the dough if you're feeling fancy.
These freeze beautifully β just reheat in the oven for 5 minutes at 180Β°C.
Pair with a cup of Chai Goodness for the ultimate slow morning.
