Description

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Adjust the rack to the middle position. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cardamom. Stir with a whisk to combine. Using a pastry cutter, fork, or two knives, blend the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles pea-sized crumbs. In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk the vanilla and buttermilk together, then add it to the flour mixture. Stir just until the dough comes together, taking care no to over mix.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead it gently about 5 times. Shape the dough into a 7-inch round disk. Cut the dough into 8 equal sized wedges. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with heavy cream ad sprinkle with coarse sugar.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer the scones to a wire rack to cool.
