12*52 Easter Scones

Easter is around the corner.

Are y'all planning a nice get-together with family and/or friends?

I always enjoy a typical Easter brunch.

And since I already missed presenting you with a Valentine's Day recipe before Valentine's Day, I won't make the same mistake again...

Easter Scones

From Living at Home

500 g flour

50 g brown sugar

3 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

pintch of salt

120g butter, room temperature

2 eggs

220 ml buttermilk

1 egg yolk

1 tablespoon milk

• Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F).
• Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Add butter in flocks, eggs, and buttermilk and knead until you have a smooth dough. Add more flour if dough is too sticky.
• Roll out dough on a floured surface (about 3 cm/1.2 in thick) and cut out scones with any Easter cookie cutter you may have. Put scones on baking sheet lined with baking parchment.
• Mix egg yolk and milk in a cup and brush scones with mix.
• Bake on middle rack for 16-18 minutes and serve while still warm.

My modifications:

None.
But next time I would omit the cinnamon and replace it with lemon or lime zest. It would just taste more Easterly like that.

The taste:

Like good scones are supposed to taste like. Definitely best when still warm.
