Description

These scones are so delicious yet so easy to make. You will have friends begging you to make them. The combination of flavors are only limited to your imagination. They are lovely in both sweet and savory flavors.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Flour
  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ¼ cups Sugar
  • 1 cup Mix-ins (Blueberries And Lemon Zest, Dried Cranberries And Orange Zest, Chocolate Chips And Toffee Bits, Etc.)
  • 1-¼ cup Cold Heavy Cream
  • 3 Tablespoons Butter, Melted
  • 2 Tablespoons Decorating Sugar

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425 f. Use an ungreased baking sheet ( I like to line mine with a Silpat or parchment paper)

Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a bowl, stirring with a fork to mix well. Add the mix – ins of your choice.

Still using a fork, stir in the cream and mix until the dough holds together in a rough mass. It will be sticky. Be very gentle when using fresh berries of any kind.

Lightly flour a board and transfer dough to it. Knead the dough gently 8 or 9 times.

Divide the dough in half. Pat it into 2 circles about 6 inches round. Spread the tops with melted butter or extra cream and sprinkle with large crystal decorating sugar.

Cut each circle into 8 wedges and place on the baking sheet, allowing about an inch between pieces.

Bake for 12 minutes or until golden.

Other ideas: For pumpkin scones you can blend 1 to 2 Tbsp. pumpkin puree and spices to the cream before adding it to the dry ingredients keeping it at the 1 1/4 cup level. I like to add pecans and top it with a maple glaze. yum!

I like to mix the dry ingredients in Ziploc bags and keep them ready to mix in the freezer.

When you don’t have cream on hand, melt a cube of butter let it cool then add enough cold milk to make 1 1/4 cups

For savory scones : omit the 1/4 c sugar and add things like Parmesan cheese, roasted garlic, chopped artichoke hearts or fresh herbs. Top with savory seasonings or cheeses. Again, the combos are limitless!
