Scones

Thinking of trying this sometime this coming week!


Dry Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon of sugar 
1 tablespoon of baking powder 
1/2 teaspoon of salt


Wet Ingredients:
1 cup heavy cream
Some melted butter


Directions:
1. Mix dry ingredients in a big bowl.
2. Add heavy cream, stirring until mixture becomes stiff enough to knead by hand into a smooth ball.  
3. Flatten the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 2/3" and punch ouscones.
4. Dip scones in 2-3 tablespoons of melted butter before arranging on a baking tray and cooking at 425F for 10-12  minutes or when lightly browned.


How to eat scones:
0. Invite a friend (or friends)
1. Lay out tea table with cute tea set and cups of English tea (Earl Grey and English Breakfast are my all-time favourites!)
2. Cut scone in half horizontally.
3. Spread the inside with dollops of clotted cream and jam. 
4. Enjoy! 


I'm still trying to find clotted cream in the supermarket though.... will post photos soon!
