Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour

1/3 cup sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

11 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream

May add cranberries, ginger, lemon peel, chocolate chips, orange zest, chopped candied ginger, pumpkin pie spice etc. OR any of your favorite flavors or combination of ingredients

I particularly like this recipe because the whipping cream along with the butter produces a delicious, delicate, melt-in-your-mouth scone!

Directions

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.
