How to Make Classic Pastry Scones
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Grate frozen butter into the dry mixture, then cut it in using a fork or pastry blender.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together yogurt, cream, egg, and vanilla until well blended.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, along with your chosen mix-ins, and gently fold together until it forms clumps.
- Knead the mixture by hand until it forms a ball, being careful not to overmix.
- Pat and shape the dough into an 8-inch circle, then cut into 8 wedges and place on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 16-18 minutes until golden brown. Allow the scones to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
- To make the glaze, combine powdered sugar with milk until smooth, then drizzle over the scones.
