1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or not; it helps with cleanup, but isn’t necessary to prevent sticking).
2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
3. Combine the vanilla with 1 1/3 cups cream. Drizzle the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients, tossing and stirring gently all the while. Add enough cream to make a cohesive dough, using up to 3 additional tablespoons if necessary. There shouldn’t be any dry flour in the bottom of the bowl, but the dough shouldn’t be particularly sticky, either.
4. Lightly flour a clean work surface. Divide the dough in half, and gently pat each half into a 5 1/2" circle about 3/4" thick.
5. Brush each circle with heavy cream, and sprinkle with coarse white sparkling sugar.
6. Place the two circles of dough on the baking sheet, and cut each into 6 wedges. Pull the wedges apart a bit, leaving them in a circular pattern with about 1" space between each wedge.
7. For best rising, place the pan of scones into the freezer for 15 minutes, while you preheat your oven to 425°F.
8. Bake the chilled scones for 14 to 15 minutes, until they’re starting to brown, and they’re baked all the way through, without any wet dough in the center.
9. Remove the scones from the oven. Serve warm, split and spread with a bit of sweet butter and jam or preserves.

Store cooled scones airtight at room temperature for several days; freeze for longer storage. To refresh, microwave individual scones very briefly; or place scones on a baking sheet, tent with aluminum foil, and reheat in a 350°F oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until heated through.

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. In large bowl, sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together.
2. In mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar, vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
3. Add eggs one at a time to the butter mixture and mix well before adding next egg.
4. In batches add flour mixture and mix until just combined.
5. With spatula or wooden spoon, fold in rice krispies, oats, coconut, pecans, and chocolate chips.
6. Drop tablespoons of dough onto cookie sheet 1½ inchdes apart. Place in freezer for 15 minutes. Take from freezer and put directly in oven for 10-12 minutes.

1. Cream butter and sugar together. Add eggs 1 at a time. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl, mix milk and vanilla. Add to butter mixture. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add flour mix to butter mixture.
3. Mix until just combined. Roll out dough and cut with cookie cutters.
4. Bake at 350 F for 8 minutes.
