Pink Heart Scones
 
Makes 11
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup cold unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup plus 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon almond extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon liquid red food coloring
  • Garnish: confectioners’ sugar
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly.
  3. In a small bowl, stir together cream, extracts, and food coloring. Add cream mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until mixture comes together. (If dough seems dry, add more cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough is uniformly moist.)
  4. Working gently, bring mixture together with hands until a dough forms. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and knead gently 3 to 5 times. Roll dough to ½-inch thickness. Using a 2¾-inch heart-shaped cutter, cut dough, rerolling scraps as necessary. Place scones inches apart on prepared pan.
  5. Bake until edges are golden brown and a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Garnish with confectioners’ sugar, if desired.
