Cream Scones image

We've never had such a fluffy scone! This recipe is so easy to make and they bake beautifully. A slight crunch on the outside and the inside is tender. We opted to add raisins and loved the addition. But, they're delicious on their own too. Serve with your favorite jam, curd, or cream for a special breakfast. They're also...

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 c heavy cream
1 egg
3 Tbsp soft butter
2 Tbsp sugar
1 1/2 c self-rising flour
1/4 c chopped dates or raisins, if desired

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400° F. Beat cream with the egg until well blended. Beat in sugar and butter until thick and creamy.
  • 2. Stir in 1 cup of the flour until well mixed. Gradually fold in the remaining flour with a rubber spatula until it forms a soft biscuit dough and leaves the sides of the bowl. Fold in dates or raisins if desired.
  • 3. Pat out onto a well-floured surface into 2 circles 3/4-inch thick. Cut each circle into 6 or 8 wedges. Place on ungreased baking sheet or baking stone, separated about 1/2 an inch.
  • 4. Bake for 10-13 minutes until lightly browned on top.
  • 5. Cover with a clean towel to allow steam to soften the scones while they cool. Remove the towel after 5 minutes.
  • 6. Options: May add cinnamon or ginger to the flour if desired, 1/2 to 1 teaspoon depending on taste. May also brush tops with melted butter after baking and sprinkle with superfine sugar (if desired).

These scones were delicious! I love the way the glaze melts over the top. I will definitely be making these again.

These scones were a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I would try using a different flour next time, maybe a pastry flour.

These scones were really easy to make and they turned out great. I used a gluten-free flour blend and they were still delicious. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone looking for a quick and easy scone recipe.

These scones were a bit too sweet for me, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best scones he's ever had. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.

I've made these scones several times now and they're always a hit. They're so easy to make and they always turn out perfect. I love the way the glaze melts over the top when they're fresh out of the oven.

These scones were a bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I would add a little more cream or butter next time to make them more moist.

I'm not usually a fan of scones, but these were really good. They were moist and flavorful, and the glaze on top added a nice touch of sweetness. I would definitely make these again for a special occasion.

I followed the recipe exactly and the scones turned out great. They were easy to make and didn't take long at all. I served them with clotted cream and jam, and they were a big hit with my friends.

These scones were absolutely delicious! The texture was perfect - light and fluffy on the inside, with a slightly crispy exterior. The flavor was also spot-on, with a hint of sweetness and a subtle tang from the cream. I'll definitely be making these
