Scone Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in Butter
Cut the cold butter into small pieces and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Combine Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and egg until well combined.
Form the Dough
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Shape the Scones
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat it into a circle about 1-inch thick. Cut into wedges or use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds.
Bake
Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool and Serve
Let the scones cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm with clotted cream and seasonal curd.
