Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner, set aside.
-
In a mixing bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt for 20 seconds. Set aside.
-
In a mixing bowl or 2-cup liquid measuring cup, whisk together ⅔ cup heavy cream, egg, vanilla bean seeds, and vanilla extract until well combined. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to use.
-
Add butter to the flour mixture and cut into flour using a pastry cutter or fork until it resembles a coarse meal.
-
Add cream mixture to flour mixture and stir using a rubber spatula until it starts to come together, then knead mixture (just in the bowl by hand) several times until it has come together well.
-
The mixture will be slightly sticky to work with but bake into moist scones in the end. Be careful not to overwork the dough to get tender scones.
-
Pour mixture onto a floured surface and gently shape and pat into a 7×7-inch square. Cut into 9 equal squares, dusting knife with flour as needed to prevent sticking, then cut each square in half on a diagonal to create two triangles.
-
Transfer to prepared baking sheet spacing scones evenly apart, and brush tops lightly with remaining 1 tablespoon of cream.
-
Bake in preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes until set. Cool on a wire rack, then spoon vanilla glaze over tops and spread to edges.
-
Allow glaze to set at room temperature. Store in an airtight container.
Glaze:
-
Whisk together all glaze ingredients in a mixing bowl.
-
Add more powdered sugar to thicken if needed.
