Steps:
- For the scones: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Split the vanilla beans in half lengthwise and scrape out all the vanilla "caviar" inside. Stir the caviar into the cream. Set aside for 15 minutes.
- Sift together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut the cold butter into pats, and then use a pastry cutter or two knives to cut the butter into the flour. Keep going until the mixture resembles crumbs.
- Mix the vanilla cream with the egg, and then combine with the flour mixture. Stir gently with a fork just until it comes together.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and lightly press it together until it forms a rough rectangle. (Mixture will be pretty crumbly.) Use a rolling pin to roll into a rectangle about 12-by-7 inches and 1/2-to-3/4-inches thick. Use your hands to help with the forming if necessary. Then cut the rectangle into 12 symmetrical squares/rectangles. Next, cut each square/rectangle in half diagonally, to form two triangles. Transfer to a parchment or baking-mat-lined cookie sheet and bake for 18 minutes, removing from the oven just before they start to turn golden. Allow to cool for 15 minutes on the cookie sheet, and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- For the glaze: Split the vanilla bean in half lengthwise and scrape out the caviar. Stir the caviar into the milk. Set aside for 15 minutes.
- Mix the powdered sugar and salt with the vanilla milk, adding more powdered sugar or milk if necessary to get the right consistency. Stir or whisk until completely smooth.
- One at a time, carefully dunk each cooled scone in the glaze, turning it over if necessary. Transfer to parchment paper or the cooling rack. Allow the glaze to set completely, about an hour. Scones will keep several days if glazed.
Tips:
- Use high-quality vanilla beans. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your scones. Look for beans that are plump and moist, with a deep brown color.
- Split the vanilla beans lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. This will release the flavor of the beans into your scones.
- Use cold butter. This will help to create flaky scones. Cut the butter into small pieces before adding it to the dough.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the scones tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help to create light and fluffy scones. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Bake the scones in a hot oven. This will help to create a crispy exterior and a tender interior. Bake the scones at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes.
Conclusion:
These vanilla bean scones are the perfect treat for any occasion. They're easy to make and absolutely delicious. With their light and fluffy texture, crispy exterior, and sweet vanilla flavor, these scones are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast or snack, give these vanilla bean scones a try. You won't be disappointed!
