Basic Butter Whipping Cream Scones Recipe

How to make it

---

• Blend flour, sugar, baking powder in food processor
• Add butter, cutting in by turning the processor on and off, on and off
• Mixture will resemble coarse meal
• Remove from processor and put in large bowl
• Make well in center and add 3/4 cup of the cream
• Using a fork, stir until just moist
• Place dough on a floured surface (can use floured wax paper)
• Gently knead until smooth, about 6 or 8 times
• Divide dough in half
• Pat each portion into 3/4 inch thick round
• Cut each round into 6 wedges (like when cutting a pie)
• Place the wedges on a lightly greased baking sheet
• Space them about 1 inch apart
• Brush tops with remaining 2 tablespoons cream
• Bake scones at 400 degrees until light brown, about 18 minutes.
• Cool completely, or grab a cuppa of coffee or tea and eat one while still warm
• When ready to serve re-warm in 350°F oven
• I have made them without using a food processor. Can use hand, pastry blender, or large fork to combine and make crumbly.
