Cream Scones

Ingredients

• •2 cups all-purpose flour
• •1/4 cup granulated sugar
• •2 teaspoons baking powder
• •1/2 teaspoon salt
• •6 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
• •1/2 cup heavy cream
• •1 large egg
• •1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• •2 tablespoons milk

Directions

1. 1Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
3. 3Cut in cold butter with a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. 4Whisk together heavy cream, egg, and vanilla, then stir into dry ingredients until just combined.
5. 5Turn dough onto a floured surface, gently shape into a 1-inch thick round, and cut into 8 wedges.
6. 6Place scones on prepared baking sheet, brush with milk, and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
7. 7Cool on a wire rack and serve warm with jam and clotted cream.

💡 Cream scones are tenderest when the dough is barely brought together; a smooth, heavily kneaded dough bakes more like bread.
