Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.75 cup Walnuts (chopped)
• 0.75 cup Heavy cream (plus extra for brushing)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg (lightly beaten for egg wash)

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 all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and pat it into a round disk about 1 inch thick.

Step 7

Cut the disk into 8 equal wedges and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

Step 8

Brush the tops of the scones with a little heavy cream and the beaten egg for a glossy finish.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on top.

Step 10

Allow the scones to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
