• Ready In: 27 mins
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 2  cups all-purpose flour
• 3  tablespoons sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 2  teaspoons baking powder
• 1  teaspoon cinnamon
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 5  tablespoons  cold butter, diced in 1/4-inch pieces
• 1⁄4 cup milk
• 2  large eggs, lightly beaten

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450°F In the work bowl of a food processor, combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and cardamom. Pulse processor until combined.
2. Add butter and process in 1-second pulses until it resembles coarse meal, about 8-10 pulses.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together milk and eggs. Add flour-butter mixture and stir until combined. It should be fairly moist; if it's dry, crumbly, or there is still flour in the bowl, add cold water by 1/2 tablespoon increments until it all comes together.
4. Flour a surface lightly and turn out dough. Shape into a 1"-thick disc for regular sized scones; divide in half and make each half into a 1"-thick disc for mini scones. Cut disc(s) into 8 wedges.
5. Line a baking sheet with parchment or silicon liner. Arrange scones on sheet and bake in preheated oven 15-17 minutes until light golden-brown.
