3. Step-by-Step Instructions

Preparing Perfect Royal Scones

Follow these detailed steps to achieve bakery-quality scones:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or Fullstar Ultimate Veggie Prep Master to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients.
5. Gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix to keep the scones tender.
6. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat into a 1-inch thick circle.
7. Using a round cutter, cut out individual scones and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
8. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. For faster cooling, consider the Ninja SLUSHi Pro RapidChill Drink Maker to prepare refreshing beverages to enjoy with your scones.
