Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.75 cups Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups Caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 whole Egg (for egg wash, optional)
• 1 tablespoon Coarse sugar (for topping, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 6

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently press it into a rectangle approximately 8 inches by 6 inches.

Step 7

Spread the caramel sauce over the surface of the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.

Step 8

Fold the dough in half lengthwise and gently press the edges to seal in the caramel.

Step 9

Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the dough into 8 equal triangles.

Step 10

Place the triangles onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 1-2 inches apart.

Step 11

Optional: Whisk the egg in a small bowl and lightly brush it over the tops of the scones. Sprinkle with coarse sugar for added sweetness and texture.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 14

Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally drizzled with extra caramel sauce for a finishing touch.
