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:

  1. In a small bowl, toss the diced rhubarb with 1 tbsp of sugar and cinnamon; let sit for 5-10 minutes.
  2. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  3. 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.
  4. Pour in the buttermilk and vanilla extract; stir gently with a spatula just until the flour is moistened.
  5. Gently fold the macerated rhubarb into the dough, avoiding over-stirring.
  6. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat into a circle about 1 inch (2.5cm) thick.
  7. Slice the circle into 8 equal wedges.
  8. Place wedges on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes.
  9. Mix powdered sugar and lemon juice to create a light glaze and drizzle over cooled scones.
