Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 °F.
- Place all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, or in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
- Cut butter into dry ingredients until it resembles coarse meal.
- Stir together ¾ cup cream and vanilla and add to dough.
- Mix just until dough comes together.
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll dough twice to an inch thick, each time folding in half (this is the secret to a flaky scone).
- Roll dough to ¾-1 inch thick and cut desired shapes.
- Place on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet and brush with remaining cream.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until tops are nicely browned.
