Blushed Petal Sugar Scones

Some recipes stop you in your tracks. This is one of them.

Our Blushed Petal Sugar — a strawberry hibiscus infused sugar from The Steeped Pantry — was made for baking. The floral, fruity notes deepen in the oven, and that gorgeous pink sugar on top caramelizes into a crust that's as beautiful as it is delicious.

These scones are simple, stunning, and ready in under 30 minutes. Let's bake.

🌸 Blushed Petal Sugar Scones

Makes 8 scones

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup Blushed Petal Sugar, plus extra for topping
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, Blushed Petal Sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Work quickly — cold butter is the secret to a flaky scone.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla. Pour into the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Don't overmix.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a 1-inch thick round. Cut into 8 wedges.
  6. Place wedges on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with a little cream and sprinkle generously with Blushed Petal Sugar.
  7. Bake for 16–18 minutes, until the edges are golden and the sugar on top has caramelized into a gorgeous pink crust.
  8. Let cool for a few minutes — if you can wait that long.

Serve With
