Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with either a silicone mat or parchment paper.

Step 2

Combine the All-Purpose Flour (1 cup) , Baking Powder (1/2 Tbsp) , Salt (1/4 tsp) , and Smoked Paprika (1/4 tsp) in a large mixing bowl. Whisk it together to aerate the dry ingredients.

Step 3

Then pour in the Buttermilk (1/2 cup) , Sun-Dried Tomatoes (1/2 cup) , and Fresh Basil (1/4 cup) . Stir it together just until it comes together into a sticky dough.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and bring it together into a ball. Knead it for a couple of turns to really bring it together. That's all it needs though, don't overwork it. Press the ball of dough down into a flat, even disc. Use a pastry cutter or knife to cut the disc into 8 equal wedges.

Step 5

Transfer the wedges to the baking sheet and brush them all with the Butter (1 Tbsp) . Then let the scones bake for about 15 minutes. They should get golden and crisp on the outside. Take them out and let them cool for a few minutes, then serve! These are amazing any time of day! Enjoy!
