Milk: Whole, 2%, 1%, skim, or almond milk all work fine for the glaze.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (204°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking pan and set aside.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut it into the dry ingredients until you have small pea-sized crumbs.
- 3
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy whipping cream, egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The mixture may be a little crumbly at this point, this is okay! Stir in the chopped macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips.
- 4
Scoop the mixture out onto a lightly floured surface and work it together in a ball, then flatten into a 7-inch circle. Cut the dough into 8 equal-sized pieces and place them on the prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave a little room between each one. If you're using a scones baking pan, simply pour the mixture into each triangle shape and sprinkle your topping on top of each one.
- 5
Place the baking sheet or baking pan in the freezer for 5-10 minutes or until the scones are chilled.
- 6
Brush the tops of each scone with a little heavy whipping cream. If you're not adding a glaze, you can top them with coarse sugar if desired.
- 7
Bake at 400°F (204°C) for 18-22 minutes or until the tops of the scones are lightly browned and cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
- 8
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined. If the glaze is too thick add more milk to thin it out and if the glaze is too thin add more powdered sugar to thicken it.
- 9
Top the scones with the glaze and allow to harden for 10-15 minutes, then serve, and enjoy.

Chocolate & Chopped Almond Scones Chocolate & Chopped Almond Scones
I made this recipe using the things I learnt from Christophe Felder, Creative Director for Henri Charpentier. This recipe variation results in delicious, soft scones which go especially well with orange confiture. When I made these they tasted like they'd been made by an actual chef (though maybe I'm blowing my own horn a bit too much here...).According to Chef Felder: 1) The secret to delicious scones is in the baking temperature and quality of the ingredients. To make the scones soft like a professional, lower the temperature from 240 to 210°C whilst baking. Use the best quality ingredients possible. 2) For the dough, rub the butter, sugar and powder ingredients together until it looks like breadcrumbs or sand. 3) For the glaze, adding a little salt to the egg will produce a glossier finish. 4) For cutting, 3-4 cm squares is the best size.

Matcha Scones with White Chocolate Matcha Scones with White Chocolate
For those who love matcha and white chocolate.Scones become stale quickly, so I recommend keeping in the freezer if you don’t intend to eat them straight away. When you are ready to eat them, just defrost at room temperature. If you don’t decorate with white chocolate on top, it is also nice to toast lightly. Recipe by muguet: -

Chocolate Scones Chocolate Scones
I added just chocolate to the"Soft Scones" ‾m‾)o.This recipe is more like snacks, so the amount is half of the "Soft Scones" recipe.Do not over knead . Adjust the baking time and temperature on your oven. I could not find any differences in taste between the dough that was left to rest before baking and the dough that wasn't. So I eliminated that step . For about 6 to 8 small sized scones. Recipe by Lesser Panda -

Delicious Macrobiotic Scones Delicious Macrobiotic Scones
When I was breast feeding, I was desperate for sweets… But I had to cut out butter and refined sugar because I used to get mastitis often. Then I thought that the macrobiotic sweets should be ok, so I made my favorite scones. Enjoy the lovely flavor of the flour and the sweetness of dried fruits and nuts.When you want to reduce the sweetness, use soy milk instead of apple juice. If you want to make them sweet and rich, combine apple juice and soy milk with your desired ratio to make up 80 ml in total. Add any nuts or fruits you like, and as much as you want. I add a generous amount of both. Recipe by *porin* -
