Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 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 Oregon hazelnuts, coarsely chopped
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (for optional glaze)
- 1 tablespoon Strong brewed coffee (for optional 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 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, cooled brewed coffee, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the toasted Oregon hazelnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a circle about 1 inch thick and 8 inches in diameter.
Using a sharp knife or a bench scraper, cut the circle into 8 equal wedges.
Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack.
If making the optional glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of strong brewed coffee in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones.
Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite cup of coffee or tea.
