VANILLA BEAN GLAZE
¼cupwhole milk

dash of salt
Instructions
Slice vanilla bean open and scrap out inside seeds*. Place seeds in whole milk and let sit in the refrigerator until scones have been baked and cooled.
Cut butter into ¼” cubes, wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Sprinkle flour mixture with frozen butter cubes. Cut butter into flour using a pastry cutter or two knives until mixture is crumbly. Whisk together yogurt and milk. Add yogurt-milk mixture, lemon zest, and rosemary to the flour-butter mixture. Stir until dough just starts to form, about 1 minute.
Transfer dough to a clean countertop and kneed until sticky dough forms, about 2 minutes. Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface and cut into desired shape. I rolled the dough out into a 8”x10” rectangle, cut it into 20 2”x2” squares, then bisected them to create 40 triangles.
Arrange in a single layer on a cookie sheet and bake until tops are golden brown, about 15-18 minutes. Let scones cool completely before glazing.
Once scones are completely cool add powdered sugar to the vanilla bean milk until desired glaze thickness is reached. Add a dash of salt then drizzle glaze over scones or dunk scones in glaze. Serve and enjoy!
