Creamy Scones

Steps to Make Scones

These are the easiest and yet the tastiest scones you will ever make!

1. Dump the first 4 items listed above into a bowl and then add 1&1/4 Cups of whipping cream or heavy cream.





2. Stir with a wooden spoon.


3. Add whatever additions you like in scones (see the suggestions listed below).





4. Move the scone mixture to a lightly floured surface (use your floured hand to grab the ball, it won’t stick) and knead a few times. Kneading is pressing it against the surface with the heel of your hands and then folding it on top of itself and pressing it down again. Just do this a few times (3-4). Too much stirring or kneading you will make your dough tough, and thus your finished scones hard.
   You can do this step right in the bowl without transferring if you don’t mind a knife to your bowl, the scones come out perfectly dome shaped (see the note below).
   
   
   
   
   
5. Form a flat rounded circle (slightly higher in the middle) and then Cut the circle into separate triangles like a pizza.


6. Grease a cookie sheet and place the triangles there so they are not touching, but fit them onto one cookie sheet.


7. Bake the scones in the oven at 425° for 15 minutes.

Additions for How to Make Scones

Here’s a few suggestions for additions when making scones:

But, my personal favorite additions when making scones is the combination of dried apricots, toasted pecans and white chocolate. I didn’t have any white chocolate so I used mini semi sweet chocolate bits here and they came out just as good. I liked the tiny bits of chocolate in the baked scones. To toast pecans before adding to the scone mixture, just spray a pan with olive oil and cook them over low heat until they’re golden. Not a necessary step, but does add some crunch and flavor.
