Cream cheese scones are a delightful treat, blending the richness of cream cheese with the fluffiness of classic scones. Here’s a simple, step-by-step guide to bake them perfectly.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 4 oz cream cheese, chilled and cubed
- ½ cup milk (or buttermilk for tanginess)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Dry Mix: Whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
3. Cut in Fats: Add cold butter and cream cheese. Use a pastry cutter or fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces.
4. Wet Ingredients: Pour in milk (and vanilla) gently. Fold until just combined—do not overmix; a shaggy dough is perfect.
5. Shape & Chill: Turn dough onto a floured surface, pat into a 1-inch thick circle, and cut into wedges or rounds. Chill for 15 minutes to prevent spreading.
6. Bake: Place scones on the sheet, brush with milk, and bake for 15–18 minutes until golden. Cool slightly before serving.
Tips: For extra flavor, add raisins, blueberries, or a lemon zest glaze. Serve warm with clotted cream or jam for a classic touch. Enjoy your homemade cream cheese scones!
