Vanilla + Cardamom Scones With Strawberry Curd
Instructions
1
|
Preheat oven to 375* F. In a medium bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cardamom. Toss very cold butter in the flour. Using your hands, work quickly to break the butter into the flour until it is pea-sized. You may have some larger, flatter pieces.

Make a well in the center. Add the egg, buttermilk, cream, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla. Mix until just incorporated. The dough will be sticky.

Turn dough onto a floured surface. Press into a 1-inch disk. Cut into 8 sections. Alternatively, for smaller scones, you could press it into two 1/2 in. disks and cut each of those into 8 sections. Space on a baking sheet 2 inches apart. Brush each scone with cream. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and let cool.

Meanwhile, whisk the powdered sugar, 1 Tbs. of milk, and 1/4 tsp. of vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over scones. Serve with curd (recipe below).

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Cardamom Crushing Technique 🌿Gently crush whole cardamom pods with the back of a knife to release their essential oils and maximize flavor before grinding or adding to the scone mix.
- Cold Butter Magic 🧈Use frozen, grated butter and work quickly to keep it cold, which creates those coveted flaky layers in your scones by preventing gluten development.
- Strawberry Curd Smoothness 🍓Strain your strawberry curd through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds and create an ultra-smooth, silky texture that will elevate your scone accompaniment.
- Scone Shaping Pro Tip 📏Use a bench scraper or sharp knife to cut scones with clean, straight edges, which helps them rise evenly and prevents crushing the delicate dough.
- Vanilla Intensity Hack 🌱Use both vanilla extract and vanilla bean seeds for a multi-dimensional vanilla flavor that adds depth and complexity to your scones.
