Ingredients:

- 3 ½ Tbs sugar
- 3 Tbs unsalted butter, cold, cubed into the size of peas
- 1 egg + 1 yolk
- 3 Tbs milk
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla bean paste or 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ c confectioners’ sugar
- 2 Tbs milk
- ½ tsp vanilla bean paste

Directions:
Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray an ungreased baking sheet, preferably without sides, with baking spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: bisquick biscuit mix and sugar. Use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until the mixture is crumbly.


Add in the wet ingredients: eggs, milk and vanilla bean paste. Bring together until a soft dough forms with a fork. You may need to finish bringing the dough together near the end with clean hands.


Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and press into an 8-inch circle.

Once the scones are cut, carefully place wedges them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 1”-2” between them for spreading.

Once baked, remove the warm scones from the oven and place onto a wire rack to cool completely.

If the glaze becomes too thin, whisk in 1-2 Tbs powdered sugar until the desired consistency has been achieved. If the glaze is too thick, whisk in 1-2 tsp milk. In either case, be sure to whisk well after each addition.

I've decided the last 3 ingredients are the glaze recipe. Added rhubarb & doubled the recipe. These aren't the consistency of scones at all but they're not bad!think of them as bisquick biscuits woth extra sugar, bc that's what they are. In a pinch tho, they'll do :-)
