Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, cold and diced
• 0.75 cups Heavy cream, plus more for brushing
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Toasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped
• 1 cup Powdered sugar (optional, for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons Milk (optional, for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, diced butter to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a fork or spatula until a shaggy dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped hazelnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Pat it into a circle about 1 inch thick and 8 inches in diameter.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife or a bench scraper, cut the circle into 8 equal wedges.

Step 9

Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Brush the tops with a little heavy cream to help them brown.

Step 10

Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

If desired, prepare a glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
