Hazelnut Espresso Scones with Hazelnut Glaze
1 tablespoon Hazel Reàl
1 ½ tablespoon Hazel Reàl
Scones:
2 cups All Purpose Flour
¼ cup Granulated Sugar
1 Tbsp Baking Powder
½ tsp Kosher Salt
6 Tbsp Cold Unsalted Butter, Cubed
½ cup Toasted, Chopped Hazelnuts*
½ cup Cold Heavy Cream
1 large Egg
1 tsp Instant Espresso Power
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Hazelnut Glaze:
¾ cup Powdered Sugar
1-2 tsp Milk Or Heavy Cream
Pinch Of Salt
Optional Chopped Toasted Hazelnuts For Garnish
Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together. Cut in the cold butter using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.
Stir in the chopped hazelnuts.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream, egg, Hazel Reàl, espresso powder, and vanilla.
Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a shaggy dough forms. If it remains too dry to hold together, add cold cream 1 teaspoon at a time. You do not want the dough to get too wet, but it should not crumble with your touch.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a 7-inch circle, approximately ¾–1 inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges.
Arrange on the baking sheet and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Once chilled, bake for 18–20 minutes, until lightly golden and cooked through.
While the scones are in the oven, whisk together the glaze ingredients, using as much cream as you need until it is spreadable.
Cool completely. Drizzle or spread the glaze over the scones. Sprinkle with additional hazelnuts if desired.
*Note: If you can only find raw hazelnuts, toast them in the oven at 350°F for about 12 minutes, or until fragrant.
