Serves:

Ingredients

2 cups of all-purpose flour
1/4 cup of granulated sugar
1 tbsp of baking powder
1/2 tsp of salt
1/2 cup of unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1/2 cup of chopped walnuts
1/2 cup of milk
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
2 tbsp of powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold butter to the bowl and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the chopped walnuts.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk and vanilla extract.
Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead a few times to bring it together.
Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle and cut into 8 wedges.
Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, brush the tops with beaten egg, and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar.
Serve warm and enjoy!
