Ingredients
Sprinkle Scones
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 2½ tsp. baking powder
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, kept in freezer until ready to use
  • ½ cup heavy cream, very cold
  • 1 egg, refrigerated
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp. almond extract
Glaze
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp. almond extract
  • 2-3 tbsp. heavy cream (enough to reach desired consistency)
  • Your favorite sprinkles to top!
Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
  2. Get your butter out of the freezer and grate with a box grater. Transfer the butter shavings to the flour mixture and mix to combine.
  3. Measure your cream in a measuring cup, then add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the same cup. Whisk with a fork to combine, then add to the dry ingredients. Mix until not quite combined, it will finish coming together as your form the scones.
  4. Transfer the scone mixture to a floured surface. Use your hands and/or a rolling pin to form a rectangle that's about 1 inch thick or slightly thicker. Use a bench scraper or a knife to cut your scones into mini triangles.
  5. Transfer the scones to a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 40 minutes.
  6. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
  7. Let cool completely, then make your simple glaze. Whisk together powdered sugar, almond extract, and cream until the desired consistency is reached. You want it to be thick enough to hold the sprinkles, so start with 2 tbsp. of cream and add more as needed.
  8. Top with sprinkles and enjoy!
