For the Scones

ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/3 cup rainbow sprinkles
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into cubes
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For the Glaze

ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 375ºF. In a medium bowl, combine dry ingredients. Cut in cold butter until dough resembles fine crumbs. Add cream, milk and vanilla. Stir/use your hand until dough comes together.

  • Step 2

    Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface. Shape into an 8x8 inch circle, 1 ½ inch thickness. Cut into 8 equal sized scones. Bake for 25 minutes until tops are golden.

  • Step 3

    While scones are baking, make the icing. Using a whisk combine all ingredients until smooth.

  • Step 4

    Once scones are done baking, let cool for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes of cool time, dip each scone in icing, then add more sprinkles if desired.
