Ingredients

Scones

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour I measure this which is best for baking and it should be 180 grams
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 3 tbsp packed brown sugar
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • ½ tsp vanilla
  • ½ tsp salt if your butter is salted, you can omit this

Glaze

  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ tbsp butter
  • ½ tbsp heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F and prep a baking sheet. I recommend parchment paper.

  2. In a larger bowl mix your flour, baking powder, salt if using, and sugar.

  3. Add your melted butter and use a fork to mix together, it will appear crumbly.

  4. Add your cream and vanilla (if using), use the fork to mix and press it all together. Make sure to mix in the flour from the bottom of the bowl. The mixture will seem a bit dry, that is ok.

  5. Put a little flour on your hands and on a surface. Take the mixture from the bowl, shape it into a ball, then, press into a disk on your prepared surface. The disk should be about 5-6 inches across.

  6. Cut into 8 triangles (like a pizza), it might be easier to apply a bit of flour to the knife after the first cut.

  7. Place pieces on the baking sheet with at least an inch in between each piece.

  8. Brush the scones with a bit of heavy cream, milk, or butter to give a bit of browning to them. If glazing, this step isn't as necessary.

  9. Bake for 16 minutes (ovens do vary) or until the top starts to brown. While baking, whisk the glaze ingredients together to a consistency you like.

  10. When scones are done, allow them to cool. Glaze by using a spoon to dribble or simply dip the tops of the scones into the glaze for perfect coverage!
