Scone Recipe

In case you are looking for an easy sweet treat - I got this recipe from Caleb's Preschool last year.


Scones-
1 1/2 c flour
1/2 c sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
3/4c. whipping cream
Extras: 1/4 dried fruit, chocolate chips, etc.; raw sugar to sprinkle on top.

(I usually double or quadruple this recipe. The dough freezes well, but usually we have no problem finishing off a quadrupled recipe)

Preheat oven to 375. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt. Add whipping cream and mix well. Should be like playdough. If too sticky, add more flour. mix in dried fruit, choco chips.

Form dough into a ball ( if single recipe, one ball; double, two....) and smash into flat circle. Brush top with whipping cream and sprinkle with raw sugar. Cut like a pizza into 8 pieces. Place 1 inch apart and bake 18 minutes or until lightly browned.

When I 5x the recipe, I just smash the dough into a large jelly roll pan and cut into triangles, then place on a baking sheet. It saves a little time.
