I love the bright and buttery flavor of these tender scones with glaze that soaks in. Serve them with a yummy jam, or try them as a base for strawberry shortcake. -Angela LeMoine, Howell, New Jersey

TRIPLE SEC CREAM SCONES

The orange flavored raisins make these so good. Make sure to soak them at least 15 minutes! EDIT: I tried these with cranberries and they do not work as well as the raisins. I would imagine any dried fruit would work best, since letting it soak in liquid (triple sec) reconstitutes its moisture, whereas cranberries will not absorb as much liquid. Hope that helps!

CLASSIC CREAM SCONES

Classic Cream Scones image

Being a vintage cookbook collector is a bit like any hobby--it starts off reasonable, maybe one book here or there, on a topic of interest. But a few years in, it's obvious that your hobby is a bit more of an obsession. I have run out of shelf space, my husband has ineffectively put a moratorium on any new old books, and I have an arcane organizational system, based on regional cuisine. I'm officially hooked. The books by Louis P. De Gouy make up a substantial percentage of shelf space, and with good reason--they're brilliant. Written with the passion and love of a true nerd, it's obvious that De Gouy enjoys eating as much as cooking. One recipe has always eluded me: perfect scones. I grew up eating Australian-style scones (my mom and nana are both Aussies), which are quite different from their American cousins. American scones (rhymes with "owns") are basically muffin tops. Sweet with a nice crumbly texture. Australian scones (rhymes with "hans") are barely sweet (that's what the jam is for!) with a delicate, ephemeral texture. I had a very specific flavor and texture in mind, but could never quite get it right. One day I was flipping through my vintage cookbook collection and came across De Gouy's scone section in "The Bread Tray." My eyes immediately went to "Cream Scones II." Rich and with only a few teaspoons of sugar, these seemed like just the thing. I made some adjustments to lighten the texture, and here we have a perfect Aussie scone. Make sure to have several jars of your favorite jam ready--an entire plate will easily disappear. They're remarkable easy to freeze too (I freeze the cut-out dough for on demand scones)!

Time 35m

Yield 8 scones

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the surface
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 large eggs, well beaten

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt in a large bowl. Cut the butter into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter (or very quickly with your fingertips). Add the cream and the eggs, stirring together into a dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat into an 8- to 9-inch-wide, 1/2-inch-thick circle. Cut into 8 triangles. Spread the triangles across the tray. Bake until toasted on the bottom and lightly golden on top, 15 to 20 minutes.
