Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons coarse sugar (optional, for topping)
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, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture, gently stirring with a fork until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 2-3 times to bring it together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle.
Use a sharp knife or a bench scraper to cut the circle into 8 equal wedges.
Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
If desired, brush the tops of the scones with a bit of heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar for added texture and sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-17 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on the edges and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let the scones cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite coffee or tea. Enjoy!
