Step 1

Mix Dry Ingredients Whisk together: Flour, Sugar, Baking powder & Salt

Step 2

Add the Butter: Rub or cut the cold butter into the flour until you see pea-sized chunks. Those chunks create the tall rise.

Step 3

Mix the Wet Ingredients In a bowl, whisk: Heavy cream, Buttermilk, Egg & Vanilla

Step 4

Combine (Gently!). Pour the wet into the dry. Use a spatula to fold until it just comes together. Stop when it's shaggy — do NOT overmix.

Step 5

Shape Dump dough onto a floured counter. Pat into a 1.5–2 inch thick disc. Cut into 8 wedges or use a round cutter (press straight down).

Step 6

Freeze for 10 Minutes: This prevents spreading and makes them super tall.

Step 7

Brush + Sprinkle: Brush tops with heavy cream. Sprinkle with sugar.

Step 8

Bake: Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 13–16 minutes, until golden and risen.
