Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk
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, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
In a small bowl, stir together the heavy cream and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Step 5
Pour the cream mixture into the dry ingredients and mix gently until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to form a cohesive ball.
Step 7
Pat the dough into a 6-inch circle about 1 inch thick. Using a sharp knife, cut the circle into 12 equal wedges.
Step 8
Arrange the scones on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
Step 9
Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 10
To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
Step 11
Once the scones have cooled, drizzle or spread the glaze evenly over the top of each scone. Let the glaze set for about 10 minutes.
Step 12
Serve and enjoy your mini vanilla scones!
