Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter (cold, diced)
- 1/2 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Caramel chips or chunks
- 1/2 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Caramel sauce (for drizzle)
- 1-2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, diced butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until the dough starts to come together.
Fold in the caramel chips or chunks, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times, then shape it into a circle about 1-inch thick. Cut the circle into 8 equal wedges.
Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart to allow for spreading.
Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the scones are golden brown on the edges. Remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
While the scones cool, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of milk until smooth and pourable. Stir in the caramel sauce to create your caramel glaze.
Drizzle the caramel glaze over the warm scones, allowing it to set for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the scones warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the buttery, caramel goodness!
