EASY CREAM SCONES FOR TWO
I fell in love with scones a long time ago on my first trip to England. Since there are only two of us, I played with recipes until I found what worked to make two nice size ones. They are tender and moist with a hint of sweetness. Perfect for breakfast!

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 425. Line your baking pan with parchment paper. Use a light colored pan, a dark baking sheet will make your scones dark on the bottom.
- 2. Mix dry ingredients
- 3. Cut in shortening, I use a fork
- 4. Mix almond extract into 1/2 c cream
- 5. Pour most of cream into flour mixture. Stir gently. You want the dough to just come together, not crumbly and not sticky. Add the rest of the cream if needed. I usually use it all. You may even need a little more. It all depends on your flour, environment, etc.
- 6. Put on floured surface and form into a rectangle about 3 x 6. Just press it together, don't knead. I usually cut this in half for 2 square scones. You could cut it into 3 triangles if you want to be traditional. Place on the baking sheet.
- 7. Brush the tops with a little cream and sprinkle with the coarse decorating sugar.
- 8. Place in the freezer for 15 minutes. Yes, DO IT!
- 9. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until lightly browned. Let cool slightly before serving.
- 10. These are best served with clotted cream, also called Devon Cream, and fruit jam. We Love Strawberry. Devon cream can be found in the dairy section of specialty stores like Fresh Market. Some supermarkets may have it but it's hard to find here.
