I love going to British teas—we have a popular tearoom here in Albuquerque. These scones have an outstanding flavor and tender flaky texture.—Carole Jasier, Lecanto, Florida
Ingredients:
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream, divided
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk the eggs, 1/3 cup cream and vanilla; stir into crumb mixture just until moistened. Turn onto a floured surface; gently knead 6-8 times.
2. Pat dough into a 6-in. circle. Cut into eight wedges. Separate wedges and place 1 in. apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush tops with remaining cream.
3. Bake at 400° for 12-14 minutes or until browned. Remove to a wire rack. Serve warm. Yield: 8 scones.
