I know my scones doesn't look as good as the picture above but I guarantee they taste just as good as it looks. I received this recipe from my dear friend Elaine's late sister Shirley. It's an honor to share this with you...
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 cup chilled butter, cut into chunks
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 egg white, lightly beaten for glaze
- sugar for sprinkling on top
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg. Add butter chunks. With a fork, mash mixture together until it resembles a course meal. Slowly add cream while still mashing mixture. Gather mixture into a ball and knead dough on floured surface for 2 minutes. Roll or pat out dough to 3/4 inch thick triangles or round biscuits. Space apart on greased baking sheet. Brush tops with egg whites and sprinkle more sugar on the top. Bake for 15 minutes or until browned. Serve warm with jam, English Devon cream, clotted cream, and/or whipped cream.
