- Scones:
- 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 11 tablespoon (1 stick plus 3 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 cup cold heavy cream
- Vanilla Icing:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 tablespoon water
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375F.

- Bake until lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool a few minutes before icing.
- To prepare icing, mix powdered sugar and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Add water, a little at a time, to achieve a drizzling consistency.
- Dip end of a whisk into icing, then wave over warm scones.
