Step-by-Step Instructions for Turtle Scones
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients until well combined.
  3. Add the cold butter and work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Fold in pecans and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  5. Make a well in the center and pour in vanilla extract and buttermilk, then stir gently to form a dough.
  6. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and shape it into a circle about 1.5 inches thick, cut into triangles.
  7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until lightly browned and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. While cooling, make the caramel glaze by whisking butter, brown sugar, and salt until smooth, then stir in heavy cream.
  9. Dip or drizzle the glaze over the scones, allowing it to set before serving.
