Ingredients

The following ingredients have 18 Servings
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, (cold)
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 vanilla bean, (seeds scraped)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons milk

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Place the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of a food processor, and whisk to combine.
  • Cut the butter into pieces, and add to the food processor.
  • Pulse the food processor until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
  • With the food processor running on low speed, stream in the cream and the vanilla extract.
  • When the dough has gathered itself into a ball, turn off the food processor and divide the dough into three equal portions.
  • Flatten each portion of dough into a disc shape, about 1 1/2-inches thick.
  • Score each disc into 6 triangles with a knife, and pull the triangles slightly away from one another (allowing about 1/2-inch in between).
  • Bake the scones for 16 to 20 minutes, until set in the centers and slightly golden on the bottoms.
  • In a small bowl, stir the powdered sugar, vanilla bean seeds, and milk together until smooth.
  • Spread a small amount of glaze on top of each scone.
