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:

  1. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl until no large clumps remain.
  2. 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.
  3. Stir in the finely diced rhubarb and vanilla extract.
  4. Gently pour in the chilled buttermilk and fold with a spatula until just combined and the dough looks slightly shaggy.
  5. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat into a 1-inch thick circle. Cut the circle into 10 equal wedges.
  6. Place scones on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes.
  7. Prepare the jam topping by combining chopped rhubarb, honey, lemon juice, and cinnamon in a small saucepan over medium heat, simmering until thickened.
