Vanilla Cream Scones

Spring is almost here and strawberries are looking so beautiful at the grocery store right now. The ones I bought today were from Plant City, Florida which is where we would always go with my grandparents growing up. I’m a big fan of strawberry shortcake so I decided these vanilla scones would be a perfect bed for those yummy berries. These scones are also wonderful with butter and jam!

  1. Preheat oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Place flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a food processor and pulse to combine.

3. Add butter and pulse until crumbly.

4. Add egg yolks, vanilla extract and cream and pulse until the mixture forms into a dough ball.

5. Place dough on a floured surface and form into a circle. Use a knife to put the circle into 6 wedges. Place wedges on the prepared baking sheet and brush with cream. Sprinkle with raw sugar. Bake for 15 minutes. Once out of the oven, allow to cool then enjoy.
