Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine the red velvet cake mix and all-purpose flour in a large mixing bowl, stirring gently.
  3. Cut cold butter into small cubes and add to the dry mixture, working it into crumbs.
  4. Pour in skim milk and vanilla extract; mix until just combined to form a sticky dough.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead until combined, then shape into two discs.
  6. Using a greased knife, cut each disc into 8 wedges but keep them together for presentation.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-22 minutes until golden brown and springy.
  8. For an optional glaze, mix powdered sugar with a splash of milk, and drizzle over warm scones.
