Ingredients

Main Ingredients

▢ 2 cup all-purpose flour
▢ 0.5 teaspoon salt
▢ 1 tablespoon baking powder
▢ 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
▢ 0.5 cup unsalted butter cold and diced
▢ 0.75 cup heavy cream
▢ 1 large egg beaten, for glazing
▢ 1 tablespoon turbinado sugar for topping

Instructions

Preparation Steps

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and granulated sugar.
Add the diced butter into the flour mixture, using your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the heavy cream. Stir gently with a spatula until the dough comes together.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Shape it into a 3/4-inch-thick round.
Cut the dough into 8 wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

These scones are best enjoyed fresh from the oven with clotted cream and your favorite jam.
