Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–1/2 cups (420 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 12 tablespoons (170 grams) butter, cold and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 cup heavy cream, plus more for brushing the tops of the scones
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla bean paste, or 2 vanilla beans
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Turbinado sugar, for sprinkling

VANILLA GLAZE:

Instructions

  1. To make the scones: Preheat the oven to 425°.  Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.  Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar and cardamom in a medium mixing bowl.  Add the cold butter pieces and work into the dough using your fingers or a pastry blender, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Combine the vanilla bean paste and vanilla extract with 1 cup heavy cream and whisk to combine.  Add to the flour mixture and fold together just until the dough comes together.  If needed, add a little more cream to bring the dough together.  The dough should be clumpy, but there shouldn’t be any dry spots of flour.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.  Pat into a circle and cut into 8 wedges.  Transfer to the prepared baking sheets and place in the freezer for 20 minutes.
  4. Brush the top of the scones with heavy cream and generously sprinkle with turbinado sugar.  Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until the tops are set and the scones are lightly golden brown.  Cool scones for 5 minutes before removing from the pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. For the glaze: Whisk together all of the ingredients until completely smooth.  Drizzle over the scones and allow to set for at least 30 minutes before serving.
