Step 3
Preheat oven to 400°F. Prepare one cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Cut cold butter into the dry ingredients with a fork, pastry cutter, or your hands. Be careful not to overwork the butter and let it warm up too much. Work quickly until the butter is roughly pea-sized and fully coated.
Measure heavy cream into a separate bowl and whisk in egg yolk and vanilla. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in cream mixture. With a fork, gently fold together the dough until it starts to come together - dough should be shaggy. If too dry, add a little more heavy cream.
Pour dough out onto the cookie sheet and form into a disc - approximately 8 inches wide. Cut the disc into sixths or eighths and pull the slices out slightly from each other. Place in the freezer for 20-30 mins.
After chilling the scones, brush with a little bit of heavy cream. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
