Toffee Caramel Cream Scones - delectabilities (2024)

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cup flour
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 8 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small cubes
• 1/3 cup half and half
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup toffee bits

for the caramel glaze

• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/3 cup heavy cream

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Using two knives or your hands, mix the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture until the butter is mixed in to make a crumbly dough.
4. Mix together half and half with eggs.
5. Add wet into dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Stir in toffee bits.
6. Place on a lightly floured surface and shape into a disk about 8-9 inches in diameter. The dough will be rather sticky, and you can add a bit of flour but no more than a few tablespoons since it will take away from the moistness of the scones.
7. Using a pizza cutter, cut into 8 equal size pieces and place on a parchment lined baking sheet or on a baking stone.
8. Bake for 15-17 minutes.

Meanwhile, make the caramel glaze:

9. Place brown sugar, butter and vanilla in a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, and watching carefully not to let it boil over, allow to boil for 3 minutes.
10. Then slowly add the cream and whisk together.
11. Drizzle over the scones when they come out of the oven, then allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Using my stoneware, I very lightly floured the stone, shaping and cutting all in one place. After cutting, I separated the pieces slightly and baked according to directions.
