By Shash

Ingredients

• glaze:
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup sugar, or vanilla sugar
• 5 tablespoons organic, unsalted butter, cold
• 1 cup full-fat sour cream
• 1 large egg yolk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• Scrapings from a 1/2″ piece of vanilla
• 1 1/2 c powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• enough heavy cream to make a thick glaze
• Mix all ingredients and spoon over warm scones.

Preparation

Step 1

Rub the cold butter into the dry ingredients until flour is crumbly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, egg yolk, vanilla scrapings, and vanilla extract until blended. Add to the flour mixture and stir with a fork until dough forms a ball.
Dough will be sticky.
Place the dough onto a silpat lined baking sheet and pat into a disk about 1-inch thick.
Cut the dough into wedges but do not separate.
Sprinkle tops with sugar and let stand twenty minutes, so the gluten can relax.
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden.
