Cream Scones Recipe Printer Friendly Page The custom of pausing in the middle of the afternoon for Tea is very appealing. To think that the English have been enjoying

this ritual for ages only makes us realize, all the more, what we have missed. While cakes, biscuits (cookies), and other pastries are popular for teatime, scones have become the preferred sweet (at least in North America). There are lots of scone recipes milling about, but this rich flavored cream scone is what I like to serve with Devonshire Cream and either jam or lemon curd. If you want a lighter tasting scone just use milk or half-and-half (light cream) instead of the heavy whipping cream. And to make the tops of the scones nice and crispy with a wonderful golden brown color, just pop them under the broiler, with a dusting of powdered sugar, just after they are baked. For more information on the history and making of Scones. reheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and place rack in middle of

oven. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut the butter into small pieces and blend into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or two knives. The mixture should look like coarse crumbs. In a small measuring cup combine the whipping cream, beaten egg and vanilla. Add this mixture to the flour mixture. Stir until just combined. Do not over mix. Knead dough gently on a lightly floured surface. Roll or pat the dough into a circle that is 7 inches (18 cm) round and about 11/2 inches (3.75 cm) thick. Cut this circle into 8 triangular sections. Alternatively, you can cut the

dough into rounds with a cookie cutter. Make a mixture of one well-beaten egg with 1 tablespoon heavy cream. Brush the scones with this mixture. This helps to brown the tops of the scones during baking. Bake for about 15 minutes or until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center of a scone comes out clean. Remove from oven and then turn your broiler on high. Sift confectioners (powdered or icing) sugar heavily over the tops of the scones and place them under the broiler. Broil for just a few seconds, turning the pan as necessary, until the sugar has melted and turns golden brown. Make sure to watch the scones carefully as the sugar will burn very quickly. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve with Devon

cream or whipping cream and your favorite jam. These scones freeze very well. Makes 8 scones.
