Let's shift to some nice hot Scones. Make these just before you put the coffee on.
Cream Scones
2 cups flour
2 tspns baking powder
1 tblspn sugar (2 tspns works well too)
½ tspn salt
4 tblspns butter
2 eggs well beaten (or ½ cup egg substitute)
½ cup cream – half and half works good too
Preheat oven to 425 degrees
Lightly butter a foil covered cookie sheet or use cooking spray to coat it.
Combine all dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl,
Mix in the butter until well distributed.
pour in cream and egg and mix until it reaches the consistancy of meal, then turn out onto a lightly floured wooden board, nead for roughly one minute.
Slowly flatten out to a "round" that is about half an inch thick
Then, cut into 8 pie-like slices.
Place slices on the cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
NOTE: Additive such as ¼ lb of diced crystal ginger candy or 1/5 lb of chocolate chips work quite well with the above mix.
Caution: It is not recommended that you "double" the recipe above to make more than one batch of scones at a time. For some reason, it simply does not come out right. Make the same recipe twice for best results.
