Description
Delicious and colorful Funfetti Cake Mix Scones made with cake mix, perfect for a sweet treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups Funfetti cake mix
- 1 cup all-purpose flour plus more for dusting
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into pieces
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold plus more for brushing
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Combine the cake mix, flour, salt, and rainbow sprinkles in a large bowl.
- Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter or two forks until coarse crumbs form.
- Whisk the vanilla extract into the heavy cream. Create a well in the flour-butter mixture and pour the liquid ingredients into the well in two separate parts, mixing until a dough forms. **Note: You may not need the entire cup of cream.
- Pour the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Turn the dough a couple of times until it comes together; do not overmix. Form the dough into a 7-inch circle about ¾-inch high.
- Cut the disk of dough into eight triangles using a sharp knife or bench scraper. Place the dough triangles onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and place the tray in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour to chill.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Brush the tops of the scones with heavy cream and bake them for 18-20 minutes until golden brown; cool the scones on a wire rack.
- Whisk the powdered sugar and milk until a glaze forms. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones and sprinkle with additional rainbow sprinkles. Let the glaze set before serving.
Notes
- You may not need the entire cup of cream.
- Chilling the dough helps the scones to rise better and have a better texture.
