You don't need to run to your local bakery to enjoy delicious scones fresh from the oven. These light and fluffy buttermilk scones are simple to make, and the best part is you don't need to get out of your pajamas to enjoy them. All you need are a few ingredients you likely already have in your pantry, and you can enjoy mouthwatering scones in about 30 minutes.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
• 5 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 tablespoons dry buttermilk powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly minced rosemary (optional)
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons coarse brown sugar

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 425 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, dry buttermilk powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Add the rosemary and/or chocolate chips.
3. Whisk together the melted butter, vanilla extract, and 1 cup heavy cream in a small bowl. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Turn the dough out on a floured surface and knead until smooth, about 1 minute.
4. Divide the dough into two balls. Roll out each ball into 1/2- to 3/4-inch-thick disks. Brush the tops of the disks with the remaining 2 tablespoons of heavy cream, then sprinkle with the coarse brown sugar.
5. Cut each disk into six wedges. Transfer to the lined baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 12 to 16 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool.
