Hey there!  How’s your Fall going?  Are you enjoying the cooler weather? I know I am.  It’s always so nice to return to a set schedule, and this time of year is just so pretty.  It makes me feel cozy! And when I think of cozy, my mind goes straight to warm drinks and freshly baked pastries.

Really, these vanilla bean scones can be enjoyed at any time of year.  But there’s just something so nice about sipping on a hot cup of coffee or tea and nibbling on a scone when the weather is cool and crisp! I love making scones because they’re so quick and easy.  It really only takes a couple of minutes for the dough to come together.  I whipped this batch up in the food processor! Divide the dough into three equal portions, pat into discs, and then score into triangles before baking.  They’re out of the oven in less than 20 minutes! The glaze is really the crowning touch though.  It’s just powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla.  Can you see all those vanilla bean specks?

That’s what you get when you use real vanilla beans!  And the flavor is just off the charts.  So sweet and fragrant! This recipe turns out 18 petite vanilla bean scones– just like the ones you see in the glass case at Starbucks. Only these homemade vanilla bean scones are so much better! There’s nothing better than a fresh, warm, homemade pastry on a cool fall morning.  So get cozy with a nice drink and a batch of vanilla bean scones!
