Remove butter from the freezer and cut into tablespoons

Add butter to food processor 1 tbsp at a time, pulsing for 10 seconds with every add

Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract, process 30 more seconds or until begins to form a ball

Gather batter into a ball with your hands and place it on a lightly floured surface

Roll out batter into a circle so it is about 1 inch thick and 6 inches in diameter

Place scones on a prepared baking sheet

Notes

*If you like dry scones, you can store them on the counter top covered in a layer of plastic wrap for up to a week, they will dry out more and more as time passes. If you prefer a moister scone, store them in the refrigerator in an air tight container for up to a week. Or individually wrap them and store them in an air tight container in the freezer, take out and defrost when you are ready to eat.
