Best of the Best English Cream Scones

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 tsp. table salt
1 1/4 cups heavy cream or clotted cream


Directions:

Heat the oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder and table salt. Stir in the cream, just until incorporated. Do not overhandle the dough. Remove from the bowl and shape into a flattened disk. Cut disk into 8 wedges, pricking wedges with a fork more for design than anything else. Separate each wedge and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes until lightly browned on bottom and edges. Transer to wire rack to cool. These are marvelous with a cuppa for early morning tea! Serve with plenty of warm butter.

This recipe takes well to additions of nuts, dried fruits and other flavourings.

Simply mouth-watering! :)
 
Dang that sounds good, we never have any cream. Always have milk. Can the cream be replaced with milk and butter? CF
 
Hate to sound hard-nosed and pickey about it, but absolutely no substituting anything for cream (especially good British-style clotted cream) in order to get the genuine "cream scone" consistency and really do it right! Sorry.
