Cream Scones image

We've never had such a fluffy scone! This recipe is so easy to make and they bake beautifully. A slight crunch on the outside and the inside is tender. We opted to add raisins and loved the addition.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 c heavy cream
1 egg
3 Tbsp soft butter
2 Tbsp sugar
1 1/2 c self-rising flour
1/4 c chopped dates or raisins, if desired

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400° F. Beat cream with the egg until well blended. Beat in sugar and butter until thick and creamy.
  • 2. Stir in 1 cup of the flour until well mixed. Gradually fold in the remaining flour with a rubber spatula until it forms a soft biscuit dough and leaves the sides of the bowl. Fold in dates or raisins if desired.
  • 3. Pat out onto a well-floured surface into 2 circles 3/4-inch thick. Cut each circle into 6 or 8 wedges. Place on ungreased baking sheet or baking stone, separated about 1/2 an inch.
  • 4. Bake for 10-13 minutes until lightly browned on top.
  • 5. Cover with a clean towel to allow steam to soften the scones while they cool. Remove the towel after 5 minutes.
  • 6. Options: May add cinnamon or ginger to the flour if desired, 1/2 to 1 teaspoon depending on taste. May also brush tops with melted butter after baking and sprinkle with superfine sugar (if desired).
