Course Breakfast
Cuisine American
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped pistachios
  • 1/2 cup butter very cold cut into small cubes
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or heavy cream  cold
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp honey

Glaze

  • 1/2 cup icing sugar
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/4 cup Chopped pistachios for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F
  • In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the pieces of cold butter and cut into the dough using a pastry cutter or a fork until the texture is a coarse meal. You want the butter to be small,(similar to making pie crust or cornmeal). Stir in chopped pistachios.
  • Lightly whisk together the yogurt or heavy cream, egg, vanilla extract, andhoney. Stir into the butter/flour mixture with a rubber spatula until combined.Do not over-mix.
  • Lay the dough out on a lightly floured work surface and lightly knead with a lightly floured hand about 4 times. Pat the dough out to an 8 or 9-inch circle, about 1 inch thick. I use a circle cookie cutter but you can also cut them into triangles.
  • Transfer the scones onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350F for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Glaze

  • While scones are cooling, make the glaze. Whisk together milk, icing sugar, and honey until smooth.
  • Drizzle on top of scones before serving. Sprinkle on chopped pistachios
