Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
• 0.75 cups Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups Marmalade
• 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon Milk (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 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, mix together the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Slowly pour this into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until the dough starts to come together.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it lightly, just until it holds together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 6

Pat the dough into a 1-inch-thick circle. Spread the marmalade over half of the circle, leaving a small border around the edges. Fold the other half of the dough over the spread marmalade, gently pressing the edges to seal.

Step 7

Cut the folded dough into 8 equal wedges, like a pie. Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush this mixture lightly over the tops of the scones for a golden finish.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and puffed.

Step 10

Remove the scones from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Step 11

Serve warm with extra marmalade or clotted cream, if desired.
