Dietary Adjustments

Use a gluten‑free flour blend (ensure it contains xanthan gum) to keep the structure intact. Substitute butter with cold coconut oil for a dairy‑free version, and replace the egg with a flax‑egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water). For a lower‑sugar option, cut the granulated sugar in half and add a splash of maple syrup.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the scones warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a smear of mascarpone. Pair them with fresh berries and a drizzle of honey for a light brunch. For a cozy afternoon, accompany them with a robust cup of coffee or a spiced chai latte.

¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar

Instructions

Shaping and Baking

Turn out the dough. Lightly flour a clean surface and gently pat the dough into a 1‑inch thick circle. Avoid rolling with a pin; the gentle pat preserves the butter layers.
Cut the scones. Using a floured 2‑inch round cutter, press straight down without twisting. Gather the scraps, reshape, and cut again until you have eight even rounds.
Prepare the baking sheet. Line a sheet with parchment paper. Place the scones close together (they will spread) and brush the tops lightly with a little milk for a golden sheen.
Bake. Slide the sheet into a pre‑heated 425°F (220°C) oven. Bake for 12‑15 minutes, or until the tops are deep golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Cool slightly. Transfer the scones to a wire rack and let them rest for 5 minutes. This short cooling period sets the crumb while keeping the interior soft.
