Classic Pastry Scones (775)

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup frozen unsalted butter
• 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup favorite mix-ins like Craisins, fresh or frozen blueberries, chocolate chips, coconut, pecans, dried cranberries or raisins
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1-2 Tablespoons milk

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a mixing bowl.
3. Grate in frozen butter to dry mixture. Use a fork or pastry blender to cut in the butter.
4. Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together yogurt, cream, egg, and vanilla until well blended. 
5. Combine: Add to the dry mixture along with craisins (or other add-ins) and use a rubber spatula to fold the ingredients in until it starts to come together in large clumps. Gently knead mixture by hand (in the mixing bowl) just a few times until it comes together in a ball. Try not to handle the dough too much.
6. Shape and cut: Dust a clean surface with a little flour and drop dough on top. Gently pat and shape into an 8-inch circle. Cut into 8 wedges then transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet. 
7. Bake in preheated oven until golden, about 16 - 18 minutes. 
8. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before drizzling the glaze on top. These are best served the day they are prepared.
9. Glaze: Add powdered sugar to a mixing bowl with 1 Tbsp milk and stir until smooth. Add additional milk, if needed. Drizzle over scones.
