Plates | Basic Scone, Three Flavors

These were a really homey treat for my Crafternoon Party. They paired really well with the Chai tea that I made. It was a simple to make the base dough and fun to create the variations! There are so many possibilities with this recipe.

Ingredients
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp baking powder
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup butter

Variations: 1. blueberries & lemon juice (and zest), 2. raspberry jam

Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Mix together the dry ingredients, and cut the butter into cubes. Mix in the butter until the dough resembles fine crumbs. Add the remaining wet ingredients and mix until the mixture comes togehter. It will be a course dough.
Divide the dough if you’re making different varieties and add in the mix ins to each portion.
Pat a ball of dough into a flat circular disc and cut into 6 or 8 equal pieces.
Bake for 12-14 minutes until they start to turn golden brown.

You can serve these with butter, jam, honey, or heavy whipped cream.
