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 cup (115g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 3/4 cup (180ml) low-fat buttermilk, chilled
- 3/4 cup (100g) fresh rhubarb, finely diced
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 cup (150g) fresh rhubarb, chopped
- 1/4 cup (50g) honey
- 1 tsp (5ml) lemon juice
- 1 pinch cinnamon
Instructions:
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl until no large clumps remain.
- Add chilled, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or forks to work the butter in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized chunks remaining.
- Stir in the finely diced rhubarb and vanilla extract.
- Gently pour in the chilled buttermilk and fold with a spatula until just combined and the dough looks slightly shaggy.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat into a 1-inch thick circle. Cut the circle into 10 equal wedges.
- Place scones on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes.
- Prepare the jam topping by combining chopped rhubarb, honey, lemon juice, and cinnamon in a small saucepan over medium heat, simmering until thickened.
