2 c. all-purpose flour
1/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. light brown sugar, packed
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
6 tbsp. sweet butter, chilled and cut into sm. sqs.
1/2 c. buttermilk, room temperature
1 lg. egg, room temperature, lightly beaten
2 tsp. vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, sift together the first six ingredients. If any ingredients remain in the sifter, press them through with a spatula. Sprinkle the butter squares over the flour mixture and using the fingertips, "rub" together until it resembles coarse meal. In a small bowl, mix together the remaining three ingredients and add to the butter mixture. Stir the dough just until it clings together and all the ingredients are combined. Using a 1/4 cup measure, drop the dough onto a baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes or until tops are golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature. Yield: 12-15 scones.
