🥘 Ingredients

15 items

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.5 cup Hazelnuts (toasted and chopped)
• 0.75 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 whole Egg (optional, for brushing)
• 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)

• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Liqueur (e.g., Frangelico or Amaretto, optional)

📝 Instructions

12 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Stir in the toasted, chopped hazelnuts.

5. In a separate bowl, mix together the heavy cream and vanilla extract.

6. Gradually pour the cream mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring with a fork until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle.

8. Cut the circle into 8 wedges and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

9. For a golden top, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush it over the top of the scones (optional).

10. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown. Allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack.

11. While the scones cool, prepare the whipped cream topping: In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.

12. Gently fold in the lemon zest and honey for a zesty cream, or the liqueur for a boozy twist. Serve immediately with the scones.
