Bake these buttery scones bursting with warm chai spices. They are perfect for a cozy breakfast or a delightful afternoon tea treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon chai spice blend (cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, black pepper)
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, plus more for brushing
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and chai spice blend.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead 3 or 4 times. Pat the dough into a 3/4-inch thick circle.
  7. Cut the circle into 8 equal wedges. Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Brush the tops of the scones lightly with heavy cream.
  9. Bake for 14 to 17 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  10. Cool on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add 1/4 cup of finely chopped crystallized ginger to the dry ingredients.
  • You can use strong brewed black tea instead of some of the heavy cream for a more intense chai flavor.
  • These scones taste best the day they are baked.
