Time 30m

Yield 16 scones

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour (9 ounces)
1 tablespoon baking powder
4 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 teaspoons milk or 2 teaspoons cream, divided
2 tablespoons sparkeling sugar, for the top

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and butter in a food processor and plulse everything in 3-second intervals until it resembles course meal, (If doing this by hand, use 2 knives, a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles course meal).
  • Transfer everything to a large bowl. Stir in heavy cream, egg, and vanilla mixing the dough by hand until it forms into a uniformed and slightly moistened dough. *You can also use your Kitchenaid with the dough hook on the slowest speed for a few minutes.
  • divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Make dough to make 4 circles and 16 scones:.
  • On a floured surface gently roll one portion at a time into a ball.
  • Flatten the ball until your disk is approximately 3/4″ in height.
  • Press down the outside of the dough circle so the center is slightly taller.
  • Dampen tops of each disk with a 1/2 tsp milk or cream and evenly sprinkle sugar on top of each circle.
  • Cut each circle in quarters.
  • Bake on a ungreased cookie sheet, or line a baking sheet with parchment paper and bake for 15 minutes or until they are lightly golden brown. Remove scones from baking sheet and cool on a wire rack.
  • Serve with butter and jam. Enjoy!

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my scones turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These scones were a hit! They were light and fluffy, with a delicious vanilla cream flavor. I added some fresh berries to the batter, which gave them a nice pop of color and flavor.
