Don’t Have Buttermilk? Make Your Own
Buttermilk is a key ingredient in this recipe. Don’t worry, buttermilk is easy to make with two ingredients. Milk and lemon juice or white vinegar, in fact!
You can use any type of milk such as whole, 2%, skim or even almond milk. Take a one cup measuring cup and put about 2 tablespoons lemon juice or white vinegar in the bottom.
Pour your desired milk over top of the lemon juice or vinegar. Let sit for at least 5 minutes. The milk will curdle and become chunky and that is what you want to see.

How to make these Valentines Sweets Scomuffie
Gather Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients needed to make your valentine’s treats. Making sure to make your buttermilk ahead of time, if needed.
Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 325°F before you start mixing up your Valentine’s Day Sweets.
Cut The Butter: The moist center of the scomuffie comes from the cold butter chunks. Therefore, the butter needs to be cold and cut up in small chunks before added to the flour mixture.
Combine the Liquid Ingredients: Whip up the egg in a bowl. Mix the egg, buttermilk, and vanilla with a whisk. Set aside.
Mixing Bowl: Combine the flour, granulated sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda in the KitchenAid mixer mixing bowl. Add the cold butter chunks to the flour mixture. Mix about 3 to 5 minutes until the flour mixture looks grainy.
Add and Mix: Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and mix until all ingredients are just combined. Finally, mix in the candy hearts sprinkles, if desired. I used about 2 tablespoons of the sprinkles but you need to use your own judgement depending on what type of sprinkles that you use. DO NOT OVERMIX!
Time to portion out your Valentines recipe!
Using a #40 scoop, measure out a level portion of the scomuffie dough and roll the top into the sanding sugar. Place each sugared dough ball onto a parchment lined standard baking sheet pan.
You should be able to fit 12 – 15 on the sheet pan. Slightly flatten with the palm of your hand. Last of all, bake the Valentines Treats Scomuffie at 325°F for about 13 minutes.
Check for doneness with a toothpick. When the toothpick is removed from the scomuffie, there should be no dough stuck to it. The bottom of the valentines muffin should be golden brown.
Valentine’s Day treats garnish
This is an optional step. Combine the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk and 1 drop of food color (red or pink) in a small bowl until smooth. Add more milk or more powdered sugar to achieve your desired thickness.
You can keep the icing all white or color half of the icing red or pink to have two different colors to use. Place icing in a zip lock bag or a pastry bag and cut a small hole from the tip or corner of the bag.
When the baked valentine treats are cooled, zigzag the icing over the top. I placed a few more candy heart sprinkles on top of the zigzagged icing.
Once icing has set, store the Valentines Sweets Scomuffie in an airtight container for up to a week. These freeze well for up to six months.

These were delicious!!
I made them with my 10 year old yesterday.
Each week one of the kids get to pick a recipe that we make together. And she wanted to make something sweet and pretty (her words).
We found this on pinterest and loved it.
So easy to follow and they tasted great.
I love that you cook with your kids and let them pick a recipe!! This is so awesome!! A life skill that will carry them a long way in life.
I’d never had a scomuffie before. But now that I know it’s part scone, part muffin,and 100% as tasty as these were, I’m hooked!
I saw the Valentine’s Sweets Scomuffie recipe and thought they’d be a cute dessert to try making. The heart shapes turned out so cute! I think next Valentine’s Day, I’ll definitely make a batch of these for him.
They make the perfect treat for your special Valentine in your life!!
