Makes 12
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1¼ cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; mix well. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until crumbly. Add cream and vanilla extract, stirring with a fork just until combined.
3. Shape dough into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, knead 4 to 5 times or until smooth and elastic.
Roll dough to a 1-inch thickness. Using a 2-inch round cutter, cut scones from dough.
