Yonnie's Cream Scones

Mrs.Dr.Fork

I made these for Metta's tea parties a lot, with half size scones.

1¾ cup flour

2¼ teaspoon baking powder

1 tablespoon sugar (Y uses 2)

½ teaspoon salt

1¼ heavy cream

subheading: Optional additions:

raisins and chopped pecans (Y adds)

cranberries/orange zest

fresh blueberries/lemon zest

Preheat oven to 450°F.

In a large bowl sift flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the cream. Combine with as few strokes as possible. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Handle dough as little as possible.

Pat into a ¾" thick disk. Using knife or bench scraper, cut disk into wedges. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes.

be careful of fresh berries. They can squish and the scones can turn out soggy.
