Festive Sprinkle Scones
 
 
Makes 8
Ingredients
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons assorted holiday sprinkles, divided
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 2 tablespoons cold cream cheese, cubed
  • ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon cold whole buttermilk, divided
  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400°. Spray a cast-iron wedge pan with baking spray with flour.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons sprinkles, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in cold butter and cream cheese until mixture is crumbly. Stir ½ cup cold buttermilk into flour mixture just until dough comes together.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, gently knead dough just until it comes together, 6 to 8 times. Pat dough into a 6-inch circle; cut into 8 wedges. Place wedges in wells of prepared pan.
  4. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool in pan for 5 minutes. Remove from pan, and let cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together confectioners’ sugar and remaining 1 tablespoon buttermilk until smooth. Drizzle onto scones, and top with remaining 1 tablespoon sprinkles. Let stand until glaze is set, about 15 minutes. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
