Cream Scones, Fannie Farmer Cookbook

2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup cream

Preheat the oven to 425 Degrees. Lightly butter a cookie sheet. Mix the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Work in the butter with your fingers or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the eggs and cream and stir until blended. Turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead for about a minute. Pat or roll the dough about 3/4 inch thick and cut into wedges. Place on the cookie sheet and bake for about 15 minutes.

note: Add any additional flavors with the eggs. I usually cut this recipe in half. I make this often.

Answer 3

Lemon Scones
From Country Woman Christmas




These delicate scones are the perfect lightly sweet treat to serve with coffee or tea at any holiday get-together. It's a simple bread since, like biscuits, it doesn't require much kneading and there's no need to let the dough rise.




INGREDIENTS


2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup cold butter or margarine

1/2 cup sour milk*

DIRECTIONS



In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Add milk and lemon peel, stirring just until mixed. Turn onto a floured surface; knead gently six times. Shape into a ball. On a greased baking sheet, pat dough into a circle about 1/2 in thick and 8-1/2 in. in diameter. Using a sharp knife, cut wedges in the dough, being careful not to cut all the way through. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Yield: 10-12 scones. Editor's Note: To sour milk, place 1-1/2 teaspoons white vinegar in a measuring cup. Add enough milk to equal 1/2 cup.

Answer 4

This is a very simple recipe for scones. You can customize them by adding dried fruit or nuts. Half and half can also be substituted for milk if you wish.

3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup white sugar
5 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter. Mix the egg and milk in a small bowl, and stir into flour mixture until moistened.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead briefly. Roll dough out into a 1/2 inch thick round. Cut into 8 wedges, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.
