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
- 1/2 cup Pecans, chopped
- 1/2 cup Shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 cup Powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for glaze)
- 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, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed 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 small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently combine until just mixed. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Fold in the chopped pecans and shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a circle about 1-inch thick and 8 inches in diameter.
Cut the circle into 8 equal wedges and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and set. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack.
While the scones are cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm scones. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
