FacebookTwitterPinterestYummlyEasy to make Vanilla Scones are the perfect way to start the day! Topped with a vanilla bean glaze, these yummy treats are perfect for breakfast, brunch or as an afternoon treat with coffee or tea.When it’s time to serve up breakfast, most folks fall into either one of two categories. They’re either sweet or savory lovers. There is one more group though. It’s the one I belong to. I love both! My favorite combination is eggs, bacon and a little something sweet. That’s where these Vanilla Scones come in. They are tender and light with just the right amount of sweetness. As a bonus, they are so easy to make that you can have them on the table in no time!Making homemade baked goods really is much easier than you think and this recipe proves it. All the prep work is just measuring and then, letting the food processor do all the mixing. To make this recipe, which is inspired by Starbucks mini Vanilla Scones, extra special, the addition of real vanilla seeds is key. The little flecks of vanilla in the glaze give these scones rich vanilla flavor that’s downright magical.What You’ll Need To Make Vanilla SconesAll-Purpose FlourWhite SugarBaking PowderSaltUnsalted ButterHalf & HalfVanilla ExtractPowdered SugarVanilla BeanMilkHow To Make This RecipeStart by measuring the dry ingredients into the bowl of a food processor.
