CREAM SCONES

Mock Devonshire Cream

To follow

CREAM SCONES

4 TBS Butter (½ stk)

1 tsp Baking Soda

1 ¾ c Flour 2 eggs

¼ tsp Salt 1/3 c Milk

5 ½ TBS Sugar 

Milk or Egg Wash

Cut butter into flour and salt. Mix until it resembles cornmeal. Add sugar and soda. Mix well.

Beat egg and milk together. Add to flour mixture; using a wooden spoon. Place dough on a floured surface. Pat to ½ in thickness. Cut into rounds. Place on cooking sheet. Brush with milk or egg wash. 

Bake in a preheated oven on 450* for 8 minutes. 

Makes 20 -2 in" scones. Serve with Devonshire cream and jam or lemon curd.

I use the paddle of the Kitchen Aid for the first step in this recipe. Then switch to the dough hook. While gradually adding liquid, process on low speed until a ball forms.

Maybe made several hours ahead. Cover baking sheet tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until ready to bake

MOCK DEVONSHIRE CREAM: Equal parts heavy whipping cream and sour cream. Whip cream until stiff. Mix in sour cream. Add powdered sugar to taste. (½ c whipping cream; ½ c sour cream; 6 TBS p sugar).

I don’t care what anyone says these are my favorite scones. You can reheat in the microwave the next day, as you would a roll.
