Salted Caramel Scones

I love this recipe.  It is a little salty, a little sweet, and not as heavy as most scones are.  I have had scones before that were just too dry and heavy.  These are fabulous!  Give them a try.

Salted Caramel Scones

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup sugar

1/2 tsp. sea salt

1 Tbsp. baking powder

1 stick cold butter cut into slices

1 cup evaporated milk

2 Tbsp. caramel ice cream topping

1 Tbsp. softened cream cheese

Cooking Spray

3 Tbsp. evaporated milk + 1 Tbsp. caramel ice cream topping combined + 1 Tbsp. ground sea salt

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Mix flour, sugar salt and baking powder.  Cut in the butter until mixture starts to become crumbly and all butter is incorporated.  Add milk and 2 Tbsp. of the caramel ice cream topping.  Mix well. 

Place onto floured surface and form into a circle about 3/4 of an inch thick.  Cut into triangles with a pizza cutter.  Place onto a cooking sheet treated with cooking spray.  Mix the 3 Tbsp. evaporated milk and 1 Tbsp. caramel and brush it onto the tops of the scones. Lightly sprinkle with coarse ground sea salt (1 Tbsp.)

Bake in 450 degree oven for 13 to 15 minutes or just until tops start to brown.  Remove to cooling rack.  Enjoy!
