Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon heavy cream (for brushing)
1 tablespoon coarse sugar (for topping)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3: Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
Step 4: Stir in the 3/4 cup heavy cream and vanilla extract until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 5: Turn the dough onto a floured surface, pat to 1-inch thick, and cut into 8 rounds.
Step 6: Place on the baking sheet, brush with extra cream, sprinkle with coarse sugar, and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
Always use cold butter and do not overmix the dough for the flakiest results.
