Preparation Steps
1
Sift the flour into a large bowl. Add the baking powder, salt, and vanilla sugar, then mix well.
2
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the flour. Using your fingertips, quickly rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
3
Finely grate the carrot and add it to the flour mixture along with the ground hazelnuts. Mix thoroughly.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, powdered sugar, and sour cream. Add this mixture to the flour-hazelnut-carrot base and quickly knead until just combined.
5
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
6
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to a thickness of about 1.5 cm (approximately 0.6 inches). Use a scone cutter to cut out the scones.
7
Place the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
8
Let the scones cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Delicious served fresh or warm!
