Serve these classic cream scones with jam and extra whipped cream for the perfect tea party or after-school treat.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar

  • 1 tbsp baking powder

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 2 cups 35% cream, divided

  • 1 tbsp turbinado sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

  • Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl and stir with a fork to blend. Stir in 1 3/4 cups whipping cream, or just enough to bring mixture together into a wet dough.

  • Turn dough out onto a light floured surface and pat or roll to about a 1/2 inch thick

  • Use a 2" round cutter to cut out rounds, gathering and re-rolling scraps as needed until you have about 25 rounds. Place about 1-in. apart on a baking sheet, brush the tops lightly with remaining cream, and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.

  • Bake for 20 min or until tops and golden and scones are baked through.
