Memories are made of this: Cream Scones! |
Cream Scones:
1-3/4 c. (430 mL) all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. (15 mL) baking powder
2 tbsp. (30 mL) granulated sugar
1/4 (1.2 mL) tsp. salt
2 tbsp. (30 mL) cold butter, cut into small chunks
2 large eggs, well beaten
1/4 c. (60 mL) heavy (whipping) cream
1/2 c. (125 mL) raspberry jam, for spooning onto scone
1/2 c. (125 mL) unsweetened whipped cream, for spooning onto scone Preheat oven to 375 deg. F. In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt, combining well. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut butter into flour mixture until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
Mix as coarse crumbs. |
Turn dough onto lightly floured work surface, kneading just until flour is incorporated and dough forms a smooth, shiny ball. Roll into a circle about 3/4-in. thick. Cut dough into eight rounds using a drinking glass or 2-1/2 in. biscuit cutter.
Roll out and cut. |
To serve, split scones open, spooning raspberry jam and a dollop of whipped cream onto each half. Yields eight 2-1/2-in. scones.
