Ingrédients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk Can substitute with milk and vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 cup rhubarb, chopped Fresh rhubarb preferred
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Gather and measure all ingredients. Chop rhubarb into small pieces and keep butter cold.

Baking

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the cold, cubed butter and cut it into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • In a separate bowl, combine buttermilk, chopped rhubarb, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  • Turn dough onto a floured surface. Gently knead a few times and shape into a circle about 1 inch thick.
  • Cut into triangles or rounds and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown. Watch closely to prevent over-baking.
  • Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Store in an airtight container for up to two days at room temperature or refrigerate for a week. Scones can be frozen up to three months. Reheat at 350°F (175°C) before serving.
