Ingredients

For the Iced Coffee:
4 cups brewed coffee, cooled
1 cup milk or cream
1/4 cup vanilla syrup or to taste
Ice cubes
For the Vanilla Scones:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

Brew Coffee: Start by brewing your coffee and allowing it to cool to room temperature or refrigerate it for quicker cooling.
Prepare Iced Coffee: In a large glass, combine the cooled coffee, milk or cream, and vanilla syrup. Stir well and fill the glass with ice cubes.
Make Scone Dough: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract until just combined. Do not overmix.
Shape Scones: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat it into a circle about 1-inch thick. Cut into wedges or use a round cutter.
Bake Scones: Place the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with beaten egg. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve: Allow the scones to cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar if desired. Enjoy with your iced coffee.
