Scale
- 4 cups flour
- 1/4 cup sugar (plus 1 Tbsp, as desired for sweetness)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1–1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp cream of tarter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold)
- 2 lg eggs
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup cream (whipping cream or half and half)
Instructions
- Mix all of the dry ingredients together and then either grate the butter in the dry mix or put everything in the food processor, if available. (it should have a dry, crumbly texture)
- Mix the cream, egg, and milk. (beat the eggs separately before adding to the milk and save back about 1-2 tbsp to brush the tops of the scones before baking)
- Make a well in the dry mix and pour the wet mix in and mix thoroughly.
- Roll out the dough on a floured area to about 3/4 of an inch thick or thicker if you like thicker scones. You can use a biscuit cutter, cookie cutter or even a floured glass to cut the scones.
- Brush the 1-2 tbsp beaten egg wash on the tops and bake for approx 20-25 min at 375 until slightly golden (or as desired done-ness).
- Serve with jam, marmalade, butter and cream, as desired.
