Sunday Morning Scones

Soft, crumbly, and ready in under 30 minutes — best enjoyed with whipped honey, fruit spreads, or herby butter. Perfect for slow mornings, brunch tables, or a cozy tea break.

📝 Ingredients (makes ~8 scones)

• 250 g all-purpose flour

• 2½ tsp baking powder

• 50 g sugar

• ½ 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

🍴 How to Make

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (fan 180°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

3. 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.

4. Pour in the milk and vanilla (if using), and mix gently with a spoon or spatula until a soft dough forms. Don’t overmix.

5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat or roll into a 2–3 cm thick round. Cut into 6–8 wedges or use a round cutter.

6. Place on the baking tray, brush the tops with milk or egg, and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden and risen.

7. Let cool slightly (if you can wait!), then serve warm with your favorite Lisbets spread:
   – Berry Best for a fruity treat
   – Honey, It’s Cocoa for chocolatey heaven
   – Zest Friend Forever or Holy Herb! for a savory twist

💡 Tips & Variations

• Add a handful of dried fruit, lemon zest, or chopped nuts to the dough if you're feeling fancy.

• These freeze beautifully — just reheat in the oven for 5 minutes at 180°C.

• Pair with a cup of Chai Goodness for the ultimate slow morning.
