Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
In a bowl, mix sugar, sifted flour, salt, and baking powder. Add the butter cut into pieces and then crumble everything with a knife or blender.
Step 2
In another bowl, combine the cream, beaten egg, and vanilla extract, and pour into the flour mixture. Mix quickly until a homogeneous consistency is achieved.
Step 3
Transfer the dough to a floured surface, knead lightly, and form it into a ball. Roll it out into a thick circle with a diameter of about 18 cm.
Step 4
Using a round cutter with a diameter of 5–6 cm (dipping it in flour first) or a glass, cut circles from the dough and place them on a baking sheet.
Step 5
Brush the tops of the dough circles with milk or cream.
Step 6
Bake for 15–18 minutes in an oven preheated to 375°F until golden brown. Check for doneness with a wooden stick. Let cool.
Step 7
Serve the scones with jam, clotted cream, or whipped cream. Enjoy your meal!
