Ingredients
Scones
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 large egg + cream to make 1 cup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cream wash & topping

- In a measuring cup, add egg and cream to fill one cup. Add vanilla extract and beat to combine.
- Make a well in the middle of the flour mixture and pour in the liquid mixture. Fold with a spatula or wooden spoon until a wet dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board, fold it over itself a few times, and shape into a circle about 1” thick. Cut into 8 scones.
