Easy Scones With Cream

Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/3 cup granulated sugar
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
– 1/2 cup heavy cream, plus extra for brushing
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. Add the cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times until it comes together.
7. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Use a round cookie cutter or a sharp knife to cut out scones.
8. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least an inch apart.
9. Brush the tops of the scones with some heavy cream to help them achieve a golden crust while baking.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are light golden brown on top.
11. Once baked, transfer the scones to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with clotted cream, jam, or simply enjoy them on their own with a cup of tea or coffee. These Easy Scones With Cream are perfect for any occasion and are sure to become a favorite in your household.
