Share:
Ingredients
- 2 cups (250 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon (13 grams) baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground green cardamom
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons (85 grams) unsalted butter chilled and diced
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) heavy cream plus more for brushing over the tops
- 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
Vanilla Bean Glaze:
- 1 cup (120 grams) powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons (15-30 milliliters) milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400˚F (200˚C) and line a baking sheet with parchment or lightly grease.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cardamom, and salt.
- Cut the butter into the flour using a dough blade, your fingers, or forks until the mixture becomes coarse and no pieces are larger than a pea.
- Mix in the egg, cream, and vanilla bean paste until just combined. Knead lightly to bring the dough together, but don't overwork. If too dry, slowly add a little more cream. Be careful not to add too much liquid. The dough should hold its shape, but not become sticky.
- Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and divide in half. Press each half into a disc about 3/4 inches (2 centimeters) thick. Cut each disc into 4 equal slices to make 8 scones in all.
- Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) apart. Brush the tops with additional cream.
- Bake in the preheated oven until puffed and golden, about 10-12 minutes.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing to wire rack. These scones are best the day they are made.
Vanilla Bean Glaze:
- Place the powdered sugar in a small bowl.
- Whisk in the milk and vanilla bean paste to form a slightly thickened glaze. If too thin, add a little more powdered sugar. If too thick, add a little more milk.
- Drizzle the glaze over the room temperature scones. Allow to set briefly before serving.
