Instructions
- To make Vanilla Sugar, combine 2 cups sugar and 2 tablespoons vanilla extract and mix well. Store in an airtight container for at least a week and up to one month.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- To make the Vanilla Scones, combine flour, baking powder, 1/3 cup Vanilla Sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or two forks just until it is crumbly. Whisk together the cream, egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla in a small bowl. Add to the flour mixture, stirring just until it is moistened.
- Turn dough out onto a counter coated with 1/4 cup Vanilla Sugar. Knead just enough so that the dough will hold its shape. Using a rolling pin, roll into a 9-inch circle. Use up to another 1/4 cup Vanilla Sugar, if needed to keep the dough from sticking to the counter or rolling pin. Dough should be about 3/4-inch thick. Cut into 12 equal sized wedges. Carefully transfer to parchment paper lined baking sheet.
- Brush with 2 tablespoons melted butter and sprinkle with about 3 tablespoons Vanilla Sugar. Bake for 16 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire rack to cool.
- To make Vanilla Icing, combine powdered sugar, butter and 2 teaspoons vanilla in a small bowl. Gradually add enough milk to make desired consistency. Drizzle over scones and serve immediately.
