- Minutes to Cook:
- Number of Servings: 16
Ingredients
2 cups white flour (to obtain the correct amount stir the flour first, then spoon into the measuring cup and level off; scooping directly with the measuring cup will give too much flour and a heavy scones)2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder1/2 teaspoon salt1/4 cup white sugar1 1/3 cups heavy cream
Preheat oven to 400 F.
Mix the dry ingredients, make a well, add the cream. Stir with a wooden spoon until gathered together.
Put on a floured board and just pat together to make a solid dough, then flatten into a thick disk.
Cut the disk of dough into quarters, then each quarter 4 times, for 16 slim triangles.
Put on parchment paper or a silicone mat on a baking sheet. Brush the scones with heavy cream, then sprinkle with sugar.
Bake at 400 F for 17 minutes (I baked the scones in a convection oven for 15 minutes at 375 F, but I am at sea level, so if you are at a higher altitude you need the higher temperature and longer time).
Makes 16 delicious scones that are great hot just as they are, with butter or jam, and they keep well in a sealed container at room temperature in a cool room for a few days.
