Prep time: 25 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 16 scones
Ingredients: 3 cups (750 ml) unbleached all-purpose flour; 1/2 cup (125 ml) sugar; 1 tablespoon (15 ml) baking powder; 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) salt; 1/2 cup (125 ml) unsalted butter, cold; 1 1/4 cups (310 ml) milk; 1 teaspoon (5 ml) white vinegar; 1 egg yolk; 1 tablespoon (15 ml) water; 1 tablespoon (15 ml) coarse sugar

Preparation

- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, combine the dry ingredients. Add the butter and pulse until it is the size of peas. Add the milk, vinegar and pulse just enough to moisten the flour.
- On a floured work surface, roll out the dough with a rolling pin or with your fingers to about 2.5-cm (1-inch) thick. With a 5-cm (2-inch) in diameter cookie cutter, cut out scones. Evenly space on the baking sheet.  
Egg Wash
- In a bowl, combine the egg with the water.
- Brush the scones with the egg wash and sprinkle with the sugar. Bake for about 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack. Serve with Grape and Blueberry Jam.
