Description

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, diced
• 1 small box (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
• 1 vanilla bean, scraped (or 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste or extract)
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste or extract
• 2-3 tablespoons cream

Directions

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add cold butter and cut it in using a pastry blender or two butter knives until it forms small crumbs. Stir in pudding mix. Make a well in the center of the mixture and add the vanilla, egg and 1/2 cup heavy cream. Stir gently with a fork until just incorporated. Bring the dough together with your hands. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Form into two small rounds. Cut each round into 8 triangles and place each on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each triangle with a little of the remaining 1 tablespoon heavy cream. Bake for 8-10 minutes until just golden. Cool before frosting To make the frosting: Beat butter and sugar with a hand mixer until crumbly. Beat in vanilla and 2 tablespoons cream. Add more cream as needed for desired consistency. (I made mine thinner, so I could dip the scones in it.) Frost cooled scones with a knife or dip them upside down in the frosting. Let it harden, then serve.
