directions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking power, and salt. Cut butter into dry ingredients. Stir in fruit (if desired).
  • Add whipping cream and stir by hand just until dough forms. Dough will be soft and sticky. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until dough just holds together. Press dough into a 10-inch circle, 1-inch thick. Cut into wedges. Place scones on baking sheet and sprinkle scones with remaining sugar.
  • Bake 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees or until scones are a light golden brown on top.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a chemist who loves to eat and cook. I'm married and have a young son who loves to help me cook. My husband is a pretty good cook. I like to spend time to cook a nice meal on Sunday but during the week usually make something that is quick to put together. I also enjoy baking. I live in Newton, MA, not far from a wonderful market in Watertown called Russo's. The selection and quality of the produce there is amazing and inspiring. My favorite cookbook is Deborah Madison's Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone. I strongly recommend it, particularly if you're in a rut about cooking vegetables. I shy away from recipes that are very time-consuming or have a very long list of ingredients.
