How to Make Mango Scones with Vanilla Glaze
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Rub the chilled butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 2: Add the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix.
Fold in the diced Malda Mango without overmixing.
Step 3: Shape the Scones
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface.
Shape it into a circle about 2 cm thick.
Cut into 8 wedges and place them on the prepared baking tray.
Refrigerate the shaped scones for 20 minutes to help them rise evenly.
Step 4: Bake
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden.
Allow the scones to cool for about 10 minutes.
Step 5: Prepare the Vanilla Glaze
Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm scones.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Decorate with chopped pistachios, sliced almonds, dried mango pieces, or white chocolate drizzle if desired.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
