Vanilla Cream Scones
These vanilla cream scones are tender, simple to make, and perfect with jam or lemon curd. Top with coarse or vanilla sugar!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar, plus more, for tops
- 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream, plus 2 tablespoons (10 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted, for tops
Instructions
- Prepare the oven and pan. Heat the oven to 375 F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or spray lightly with cooking spray.
- Make the dough. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk or stir to blend ingredients. In a cup, combine the cream and vanilla extract. Stir the cream mixture into the dry ingredients just until moistened.
- Shape the dough and cut the scones. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead 2 or 3 times until you have a soft dough. Don't overwork the dough. Pat the dough into 2 circles about 1/2-inch in thickness. Brush generously with the melted butter and then sprinkle with vanilla sugar or granulated sugar. Cut each circle into 6 wedges.
- Bake. Arrange the scones in the prepared baking pan and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until tops are browned.
