Scones Royale

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup cold heavy whipping cream
• 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 1/2 tablespoons milk

Instructions:

1. Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and kosher salt, whisking until well mixed.
3. Cut the cold butter into small chunks and incorporate it into the dry mixture until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add in the heavy cream and vanilla extract while continuing to mix the dough.
5. Utilize your hands to form the mixture into a cohesive ball of dough, dividing it into three equal portions shaped into disks.
6. With a sharp knife, slice each disk into triangles based on your preferred scone size.
7. Bake the scones for approximately 16 to 20 minutes, or until they are firm in the center and lightly golden underneath.
8. In a separate small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and milk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
9. Finish by drizzling the glaze over each scone.
