Steps for the Scones

  3. In a large bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
  4. Cut in cold, diced butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, pat into a rectangle about 1 inch thick, and cut into squares or triangles.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 17–18 minutes or until lightly golden.
