Ingredients
  

For the Scones
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Provides structure and base for the scones; no substitutions recommended.
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder Leavening agent to help the scones rise; ensure it’s fresh for best results.
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt Enhances flavor; use sea salt or kosher salt for a clean taste.
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar Adds sweetness; brown sugar can add depth of flavor.
  • 0.25 cup cold diced butter Creates a flaky texture when mixed; use unsalted butter for better control of salt.
  • 0.5 cup ube halaya Adds distinct flavor and moisture; substitute with ube extract mixed with extra cream in a pinch.
  • 0.33 cup heavy cream Enriches the dough and keeps it tender; full-fat milk can be used in an emergency, but results may vary.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances the flavor profile; optional, but recommended for more depth.
For the Glaze
  • 1 cup powdered sugar Forms the base of the glaze; ensure it's sifted to avoid lumps.
  • 2 tablespoons ube halaya Adds vibrancy and sweetness to the glaze; essential for the true ube experience.
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk Helps achieve a smooth consistency for the glaze; adjust based on desired thickness.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
  2. Add the cold diced butter to the flour mixture, using a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gently stir in the ube halaya, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until just combined.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into an 8-inch circle, ensuring it’s about 1-inch thick.
  5. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the circle into 8 equal wedges.
  6. Place the scone wedges on the prepared sheet and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until golden around the edges.
  7. While the scones cool slightly, whisk together the powdered sugar, ube halaya, and milk in a small bowl until smooth.
  8. Once the scones have cooled for about 10 minutes, drizzle the ube glaze over each scone.
  9. Serve warm with a cup of coffee or tea.
