Honey Butter Scones
Warm, fresh out of the oven scones are a perfect addition to a brunch or tea party. Make them in just a few minutes with this super easy, no-fail recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour plus a little more for dusting
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ¾ cup whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° F and lightly dust a baking sheet with a sprinkle of flour or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix together the flour and baking powder in a bowl. Cut up butter into small pieces. Slowly incorporate the butter pieces in to the flour mixture with your hands. It’ll resemble a consistency almost like wet sand or little breadcrumbs.
- Add in the honey. And slowly mix in the milk, a little at a time. I usually just use my fingers to work it all together. But be careful not to overwork the dough. (see note)
- Add the dough to a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin and roll the dough out between 1/2 inch to 1 inch. The thicker the dough, the thicker the scone.
- Use a biscuit cutter. Or rings from a mason jar. Or a glass. Work with what you have! And cut out the scones.
- Roll out any scraps of dough and cut up more scones to get as many as you can on to your baking sheet
- Bake scones for about 8-10 minutes in a preheated 400° F oven.
- While still warm, brush the tops of the scones lightly with butter and honey. Or if you crave a little more sweetness, drizzle a little more honey on top.
- Enjoy!
Notes
The dough will be sticky. If it is too sticky to work with, add a tiny amount of flour.
