Rosemary Sea Salt Scones ingredients

  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt
  • 1.5 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 8 tbsp unsalted butter, very cold and cubed
  • 0.75 cup heavy cream, very cold
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 0.25 tsp flaky sea salt

How to make Rosemary Sea Salt Scones

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, and 1.5 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh rosemary until well combined.
  3. Add 8 tablespoons of very cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry blender, two knives, or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
  4. Pour in 3/4 cup of very cold heavy cream. Stir gently with a fork or your hands until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough scones.
  5. Turn the shaggy dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it 2-3 times, just enough to form a cohesive ball. Pat the dough into an 8-inch round, about 1-inch thick.
  6. Using a sharp knife or a round cookie cutter (2.5-3 inches), cut the dough into 8 wedges or 8-10 rounds. Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between each scone.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk 1 egg until smooth. Brush the tops of the scones with the beaten egg wash, then sprinkle evenly with 1/4 teaspoon of flaky sea salt for an extra touch of flavor and texture.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on top and a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The internal temperature should reach about 200-210°F (93-99°C).
  9. Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
