Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250g) All-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup (65g) Granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp (12g) Baking powder
- ½ tsp (3g) Salt
- 3 tbsp (42g) Cold unsalted butter, cubed
- ¾ cup (180ml) Low-fat buttermilk
- 1 tsp (5ml) Vanilla extract
- 1 cup (120g) Fresh rhubarb, diced into ¼-inch pieces
- 1 tbsp (12g) Granulated sugar
- ½ tsp (1g) Ground cinnamon
- ½ cup (60g) Powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp (15ml) Fresh lemon juice
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, toss the diced rhubarb with 1 tbsp of sugar and cinnamon; let sit for 5-10 minutes.
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- Use a pastry cutter or fork to work the cubed cold butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized lumps remaining.
- Pour in the buttermilk and vanilla extract; stir gently with a spatula just until the flour is moistened.
- Gently fold the macerated rhubarb into the dough, avoiding over-stirring.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat into a circle about 1 inch (2.5cm) thick.
- Slice the circle into 8 equal wedges.
- Place wedges on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes.
- Mix powdered sugar and lemon juice to create a light glaze and drizzle over cooled scones.
