Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, cold and diced
- 0.75 cups Heavy cream, plus more for brushing
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Toasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped
- 1 cup Powdered sugar (optional, for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons Milk (optional, 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, and salt.
Add the cold, diced butter to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a fork or spatula until a shaggy dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped hazelnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Pat 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.
Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Brush the tops with a little heavy cream to help them brown.
Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
If desired, prepare a glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
