In honor of the Royal Wedding tomorrow
I'm making scones.
We can enjoy these with tea while we watch a bit of the festivities.

This is my favorite scone recipe because it's so easy.
They take just a few minutes to prepare.
Combine the dry ingredients.
Stir in the cream.
Knead a bit.
Flatten into a circle and cut out into circles or wedges.
Place on a foil lined baking sheet. Brush with melted butter and a sprinkle of sugar.
Bake until golden at 425 for 15-20 minutes.
Serve warm with raspberry jam and butter, whipped cream or clotted cream.
Now all you need is A Perfect Pot Of Tea.
CHEERIO!

This one looks like a keeper too, Rita. I use a traditional tea biscuit recipe from my mom that my family adores, but it uses shortening. I'm looking for a substitute recipe and this just might be it. The heavy cream sounds healthier than shortening. Thanks again for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhy is there no butter or shortening in this recipe?
