HAPPY BIRTHDAY @carryonsimoncarryonbaz!!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉🎉
Since I can’t gift you a physical birthday cake, this is the next best thing. (Another problem -- I’m really bad at baking cakes 😂) But we do have a mutual love of scones...
So presenting BIRTHDAY CAKE SCONES! I’d send you a basket of these if I could! Have a great one 💜💜💜
⅓ cup + 2 tbsp heavy cream
¼ cup (ish) rainbow sprinkles 🌈
glaze: powdered sugar, milk, + vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 400ºF (205ºC).
In a bowl, stir together the dry ingredients, including sprinkles.
Cut the butter into squares and work it into the flour mixture until the butter pieces are pea-sized.
Whisk together the egg yolk and heavy cream. Incorporate it into the dry ingredients.
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and shape it into a circle about an inch thick. Cut into 6 triangles.
Place the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the top of each piece with heavy cream.
Bake for 13-15 minutes, until the scones are golden brown on the edges and a toothpick comes out clean.
While the scones are baking, put together the glaze by whisking together sifted powdered sugar with a few drops of vanilla extract and milk. Continue adding milk until it reaches a ribbony consistency, then drizzle over the scones. Add more sprinkles!! 💗🎂🌈🌈🌈
(I made these a long time ago so I don’t have any photos... pics in this post are borrowed from this blog. They’re a little fluffy for my taste but they look cute)
