Simple Vanilla Glazed Scones
This recipe is very easy, and very pleasing. The overall process only takes about 45 minutes making them a nice addition to Sunday breakfast or brunch anytime.
Sift or whisk together 3 cups flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 5 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Cut in 3/4 cup cold butter.
Whisk together 1 cup milk and one egg. Add this to the flour/butter mixture and gently mix. Turn the dough out on a lightly floured surface and gently press/knead into a 1/2 inch thick, squarish shape. Trim the edges, cut into 1 & 1/2 – 2 inch squares and then cut the squares into triangles. Place close, but not touching, on a cookie sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 12-13 minutes until lightly browned on top.
When they are cooled (about 5-10 minutes) drizzle them heavily with a simple glaze made of 1 Tablespoon melted butter, 2 cups powdered sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla and 3-4 tablespoons milk or cream.
Eat with lots of tea, good friends and great conversation.

I would love to make them but I am too lazy to print out the recipe. In fact, I am just too lazy. Did I mention that I just long to go to bed? LOL
They look very yummy. Wish we had a bookclub and I could eat them off your platter.

These are delicious! I didn't even frost them. My flatmates loved them and they didn't take more than an hour to make. I suggest making them just before you want to eat them because they are very good right out of the oven.
