Cereal Milk Scones

Ingredients

Scones:

1 ½ cups all purpose flour

1 ½ cups cake flour 

½ cup sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

1 ½ cups heavy cream -plus 1/4 cup for brushing the scones

½ cup lucky charms marshmallows, plus extra for garnish

¾ cup lucky charms cereal, without marshmallows 

Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon almond extract

PREP TIME: 45 MINUTES | COOK TIME: 10 MINUTES | SERVINGS: 1 DOZEN

1.Preheat oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

2. Separate the lucky charms marshmallows from the cereal, set the marshmallows aside. In a bowl add the heavy cream and lucky charms cereal. Let sit for 30 minutes. Strain the cereal out of the cream, discarding the cereal.

3. In a large bowl mix together the flours, sugar, salt, baking powder and marshmallows. Stir until combined. Add in the cereal milk cream and vanilla. Stir until combined. If mixture seems too dry add a touch of cream.

4. Once combined pour the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough out until it’s about 1/2 inch thick. Using a biscuit cutter, cut the dough out.

5. Place the scones on the baking sheet. Lightly brush them with heavy cream and place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. This gives the dough time to rest and rise.

6. Bake for 7-8 minutes or until edges are lightly golden brown and cooked through. Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack. Let cool for 10 minutes.

7. Make the glaze while scones are cooling. Whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla and almond extracts and heavy cream. If mixture is too thick add more cream and if it's too thin add more powdered sugar.

8. Spoon the glaze over the top of the scones. Sprinkle with extra marshmallows.

Enjoy y’all!
