Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour, plus additional for work surface

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled, cut into small pieces

5 ounces cream cheese, chilled, cut into small pieces

1 1/4 cups buttermilk, chilled

1 large egg

1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Cream Cheese Frosting

3 ounces cream cheese, softened

1 cup confectioners (powdered) sugar

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 to 2 tablespoons milk

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Baking sheets may be ungreased, or lined with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar; whisk together to mix.

With a pastry blender or two knives, cut butter and cream cheese into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

In a small bowl, stir the buttermilk and egg together. Add the liquid mixture and walnuts to the flour mixture; stir just until mixed. The dough will be stiff and slightly sticky. If necessary, turn the mixture onto a lightly floured board and knead gently until the flour is combined. Do not over-knead as this will make a tougher scone.

On a lightly floured surface, shape and pat the dough into a circle or rectangle about ¾ inches thick. Cut into wedges, squares or circles with a floured knife and place them 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.

Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until the scones are lightly browned. Remove scones from baking sheets and cool on wire racks.
