Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cup Walnuts (chopped)
- 0.75 cup Heavy cream (plus extra for brushing)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg (lightly beaten for egg wash)
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 flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
In a small bowl, combine the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and pat it into a round disk about 1 inch thick.
Cut the disk into 8 equal wedges and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Brush the tops of the scones with a little heavy cream and the beaten egg for a glossy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on top.
Allow the scones to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
