Scones Recipe

Langkah-langkah

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add diced cold butter and cut it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter until pea-sized butter crumbs form. Gently stir in flavor add-ins if using. Refrigerate the mixture while preparing liquid ingredients.

3. In a small bowl, combine cream, eggs, and vanilla and beat with a fork until well blended. Pour the cream mixture into your flour mixture and fold with a spatula just until moistened, don’t over-mix. If the dough is too dry to come together, add another tablespoon of cream. If it’s too moist, sprinkle with flour.

4. Transfer the dough onto a clean work surface and work it into a ball of dough just so it comes together. Next, flatten into a 1-inch thick and 7-inch wide disk. Chop into 8 equal wedges, cutting straight down without using a sawing motion.

5. Arrange scones on a lined baking sheet at least 1 inch apart. Brush the tops with cream and sprinkle generously with coarse sugar. Refrigerate the scones for 15 minutes before baking.

6. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until the tops are golden and the center is baked through. Remove from the oven and cool completely then drizzle with glaze if desired.

7. In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, 1 Tbsp milk, and vanilla. Stir until well blended. The glaze should be drizzling consistency; thicken it with more powdered sugar and thin it out with more milk. Use a spoon to drizzle glaze over the cooled scones and enjoy.
