Afternoon Tea & A MOVIE

Sultana-Buttermilk Scones

Makes 12

3 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
½ cup sultanas
2 large eggs, divided, lightly beaten
¾ cup cold whole buttermilk

• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry blender or 2 forks, cut in cold butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add sultanas, tossing until combined. Add 1 egg, stirring with a fork just until combined. Stir in cold butter milk just until dry ingredients are moistened. Working gently, bring mixture together with hands until a dough forms. Gently knead 3 to 4 times.

• Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Cover and let rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.

• Preheat oven to 375°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

• Using a rolling pin, roll out dough to a 1-inch thickness. Using a 2¼-inch round cutter, cut 12 scones from dough, rerolling scraps as necessary.
