Irish Soda Bread Scones
Prep Time15 Minutes

Cook Time15 Minutes
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups Bowl & Basket All Purpose Flour
6 tbs Bowl & Basket Granulated Sugar
1 tbs Baking Powder
1/4 tsp salt
6 tbs Bowl & Basket Unsalted Butter, frozen
1 egg
1 cup Bowl & Basket Buttermilk
1/2 tsp Bowl & Basket Vanilla Extract
1/2 cup Bowl & Basket Raisins
4 tbs Bowl & Basket Half and Half
strawberry preserves, for serving (optional)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425 and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk together egg, buttermilk and vanilla.
- Grate the frozen butter into the bowl with the flour, then stir lightly to make sure all the shredded bits of butter are well coated. If you do not have a grater, you can also chop the butter into small chunks, then blend it into the flour with two knives until the mixture is coarse and crumbly.
- Stir in raisins.
- Make a small well in the center of the flour/butter mixture, then gently pour in the wet ingredients.
- Stir until a loose dough forms, then turn out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead until the dough comes together.
- Pat/press dough gently to ¾ inch thickness, then cut out using a biscuit cutter (or the rim of a glass coated in flour) and place on prepared baking sheet.
- Brush tops of scones with a little bit of half and half, then bake at 425 for 16-20 minutes or until golden brown and firm.
- Remove from oven and let cool on pan for 5 minutes before removing to finish cooling on a wire rack.
- Serve with strawberry preserves, if desired.
