Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp (12g) baking powder
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1 cup (120g) fresh rhubarb, finely diced into 1/4 inch pieces
- 3/4 cup (180ml) cold buttermilk
- 1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp (15ml) milk
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Gently fold the diced rhubarb into the dry mixture, tossing until the fruit is coated in flour to prevent sinking.
- Add the chilled butter cubes. Using a pastry cutter or forks, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized chunks remaining.
- Stir in the buttermilk and vanilla extract until the dough is just combined.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick circle. Cut into 8 equal wedges.
- Place scones on a baking sheet with parchment paper and bake for 18–22 minutes until the tops are mahogany-colored and the edges are crisp.
- Whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and milk to create a light glaze and drizzle over cooled scones.
