Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream plus 1/4 cup more for brushing on top of scones
- 1/4 cup Irish Cream (liquor)
- 2 tablespoons Irish Whisky
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Glaze Icing
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Irish cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°.
- This recipe can be made with a mixer or mix by hand.
- In the bowl of a mixer or other medium bowl whisk the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together.
- In a measuring cup add 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, Irish Cream, Irish Whisky, and the vanilla.
- While the mixer is running on medium-low pour in the cream mixture and run until just mixed and all dry ingredients are combined.
- Roll the dough into a ball to be sure everyting is incorperated.
- decide how many scones you want to make, this recipe will make 8 thick or 12 thinner scones or make smaller mini scones if desired.
- Roll the ball of dough in between plastic wrap (wax paper or parchment paper) keeping it in a circle will allow you to cut it like a pie. Alternatively, you can roll it into a rectangle and cut triangles or use cookie cutter for another shape, or a biscuit cutter for circles.
- Place the dough onto parchment lined baking sheets. Brush with heavy cream for a nice crust on the scones when they bake. If you wnat to add coarse sugar on top now is the time.
- Bake for 15 minutes, test with a toothpick it should come out easily, it shouldn't be wet.
- Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheets.
- Serve warm or cooled. Scones are deliciosu with butter (I use Irish butter) or whipped cream if you don't have clotted cream.
- Glaze Icing: Mix powdered sugar and Irish cream until smooth, drizzle over cooled scones. Allow icing to set.
