If you've been to the Puyallup Fair in WA State, you are familiar with Fisher Scones, and this is my recipe for them. Tender and flaky, served with melted butter and raspberry preserves. You'll love them!

Time 27m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 c all purpose flour (i use white lily flour-not self rising)
2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cornstarch
2 Tbsp sugar
1/2 c cold, salted butter
1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
3/4 c whole milk
salted butter for serving
raspberry jam or preserves for serving

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • 2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cornstarch and sugar. Using the large portion of a cheese grater, grate in the cold butter. Using your hands, quickly work the butter into the flour for about 1 minute, being careful not to overwork.
  • 3. Add the vanilla and milk and stir gently with a wooden spoon just until it holds together. Sprinkle some flour onto a flat work surface and empty the dough out onto it. Sprinkle the top with flour and gently work into a ball. Divide in half.
  • 4. With one half pat into a circle about 1/2-3/4-inch thick. With a sharp knife, cut in half then cut each half into 3 wedges, making 6 pie shape wedges per circle. Repeat with the other half of the dough, making a total of 12 wedges. Place all on prepared baking sheet.
  • 5. Bake 12-15 minutes, just until lightly browned, being careful not to overcook. Split each scone halfway through and add butter and raspberry jam or preserves.

I followed the recipe exactly and my scones turned out perfectly. They were golden brown and had a lovely crumb. I served them with jam and cream, and they were delicious.

I made these scones for my weekend brunch and they were a huge hit! They were so light and fluffy, and the glaze on top was the perfect finishing touch.

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would use less sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my scones turned out flat and dense. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I'm not a huge fan of scones, but these were actually pretty good. They were moist and flavorful, and the glaze on top was a nice touch.

These scones were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more butter next time.

These scones were a hit at my last brunch party! Everyone loved the delicate flavor and crumbly texture. I added a touch of lemon zest for extra brightness, and they turned out perfectly.
