This rhubarb scones recipe takes me back to Girl Scouts cooking camp. Scones<\/a> were the first thing I ever baked that turned out perfectly on the first try. More importantly, in that moment I realized pastries don’t have to be super sweet to be satisfying. Enter rhubarb<\/a>\u2014another ingredient that defies the sugar-forward norm for baked desserts<\/a>. It’s bold, tangy and sour enough to make you pucker if you bite it raw, which may sound like an odd match for a baked good, but somehow it just works.<\/p>\n

In my mind, scones and rhubarb make the perfect pair. This rhubarb scone recipe lets both ingredients shine: The dough stays rich and flaky while the rhubarb cuts through with tart brightness, and the coarse sugar on top keeps everything just sweet enough to feel like a treat. It’s a balance of opposites\u2014and that’s exactly what makes it so good. Whether I need a breakfast bite, a midnight snack or I’m having Hugh Grant over for tea (a girl can dream!), rhubarb scones are always a fantastic choice.<\/p>\n
