Brown Sugar Scones image

A recipe I found in my catalogue from King Arthur Flour. The recipes states "This traditional British scone is an ideal tea-time treat when served with clotted cream or butter and jam. It states to use their White Whole Wheat Flour, but I just use All purpose flour. I made the walnuts and raisins optional, depending on your families tastes.

1 1/2 cups flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2 " cubes
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

half-and-half or heavy cream, for brushing

  • Or, pat into a square and cut square scones.
