Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cups Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups Caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 whole Egg (for egg wash, optional)
- 1 tablespoon Coarse sugar (for topping, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and vanilla extract.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently press it into a rectangle approximately 8 inches by 6 inches.
Spread the caramel sauce over the surface of the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Fold the dough in half lengthwise and gently press the edges to seal in the caramel.
Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the dough into 8 equal triangles.
Place the triangles onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 1-2 inches apart.
Optional: Whisk the egg in a small bowl and lightly brush it over the tops of the scones. Sprinkle with coarse sugar for added sweetness and texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally drizzled with extra caramel sauce for a finishing touch.
