Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup (65g) granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp (12g) baking powder
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
- 1/2 tsp (1g) ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 3/4 cup (180ml) cold buttermilk
- 1 cup (140g) fresh rhubarb, finely diced
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp (15ml) buttermilk
- 1 tbsp (12g) granulated sugar
Instructions:
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
- Add the chilled, cubed butter. Using a pastry cutter or forks, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with a few pea-sized lumps remaining.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and cold buttermilk until the dough just begins to come together.
- Gently fold in the diced rhubarb, being careful not to overmix to ensure a tender crumb.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently press it into a circle about 1 inch (2.5cm) thick.
- Cut the circle into 12 equal wedges and place them on a parchment-lined sheet, leaving about 1/4 inch (0.5cm) between each.
- Brush the tops with buttermilk and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
