Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 0.5 cup Toffee bits
• 1 teaspoon Espresso powder
• 0.67 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 unit Egg (for egg wash)
• 2 tablespoons Coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

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, salt, and espresso powder.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Stir in the toffee bits to evenly distribute them throughout the mixture.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Pour the cream mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a fork until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 2-3 times to bring it together. Pat the dough into a round disk roughly 1 inch thick and about 7 inches in diameter.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the disk into 8 equal wedges and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece.

Step 9

In a small bowl, beat the egg for the egg wash. Brush the tops of the scones lightly with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.

Step 10

Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

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