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)

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

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.

Step 4

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

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Use a sharp knife or a bench scraper to cut the circle into 8 equal wedges.

Step 8

Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

If desired, brush the tops of the scones with a bit of heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar for added texture and sweetness.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-17 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on the edges and firm to the touch.

Step 11

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.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite coffee or tea. Enjoy!
