-
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Cut the butter into small pieces and add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
-
Pour the cream mixture into the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
-
If desired, fold in dried fruit.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together.
-
Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle.
-
Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out scones from the dough. Place the scones onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven and let the scones cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.
