Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.333 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Toasted hazelnuts, chopped
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (optional, for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons Strong brewed coffee (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the cold cubed butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, cooled coffee, and vanilla extract.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing just until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped toasted hazelnuts.
Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Pat or roll the dough into a circle about 1-inch thick.
Cut the dough into 8 wedges (like a pie) and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each scone.
Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 14-16 minutes, or until they are golden brown around the edges.
Optional: If you'd like to add a glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of brewed coffee until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled scones.
Serve the scones warm or at room temperature with your favorite coffee or tea.
