You can have a warm batch of these baby vanilla bean scones on the table in under 30 minutes, making them a fantastic breakfast or brunch option for lazy weekends.
I covered half of them with a sweet vanilla bean glaze and left half unglazed. The unglazed vanilla bean scones are amazing topped with some of the Easy Triple Berry Freezer Jam I shared the other day. I just can't decide which I like best...
See how easy that was? Now you can enjoy these scrumptious little treats in the comfort of your own home any time!

Baby Vanilla Bean Scones
Ingredients
Vanilla Bean Scones:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- 2 vanilla beans
Vanilla Bean Glaze:
- 1 ½ cups confectioners sugar
- 9 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1 vanilla bean
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the scones from sticking.
- Pour heavy cream into a measuring cup, and scrape the seeds from two vanilla beans into it. Whisk together well and let it sit for a few minutes.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar together. Drizzle the vanilla cream mixture over the flour mixture a little at a time, and mix together with a wooden spoon until thoroughly combined.
- Roll the dough out in a rectangular shape about ¾" thick on a floured work surface. Cut dough into approximately 24 small triangles.
- Bake at 425 degrees for approximately 14-15 minutes, until starting to brown on the edges and cooked through in the center.
- While the scones are baking, scrape the contents of one vanilla bean into the heavy cream for the glaze and whisk well. Whisk in the confectioners sugar until thoroughly combined.
- Remove the scones from the oven when done and allow them to cool for about 5 minutes. Drop each scone into the glaze and turn it over to coat all side with two forks. Lift from the glaze and place on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet to allow excess glaze to run off.
- Alternatively, you could skip the glaze and serve these scones warm with some mixed berry freezer jam.

It looks like a cake roasting on the grill, different.
