Sugared Fig Scones

This baked good is the epitome of cozy, with red wine candied figs dotted into every crevice of flaky, buttery, light-as-air scones.

These sugary fig scones are light, flaky, crusted with melted sugar and golden all over. The figs stay deeply red, due to their red wine syrup, and the flavor is beautifully sweet. In the short fig season, these buttery, pull-apart scones are one of the absolute best things to make.
