Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 3/4 cup Ultramel custard
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Additional Ultramel custard, for serving (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the Ultramel custard, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the custard mixture into the flour mixture. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently stir until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick.
- Use a sharp knife or a biscuit cutter to cut the dough into scones. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
- Serve warm with additional Ultramel custard on the side, if desired. Enjoy your delicious Ultramel scones!
(Note: You can customize these scones by adding raisins, chocolate chips, or nuts to the dough before shaping and baking.)
