Time 30m

Yield Twelve to 14 scones

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups sifted cake flour, or 1 3/4 cups sifted unbleached white flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 heaping tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter, cut into 8 pieces
2 eggs
1/3 cup half-and-half

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter. Continue blending until the butter particles are pea-size.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the beaten eggs and set aside. Mix in the half-and-half. Pour the egg and half-and-half mixture into the dry ingredients and stir together with a few strokes.
  • Pat the dough out onto a floured board to a thickness of one-half to three-quarter inches. Be careful to handle the dough as little as possible. Cut the dough into 2-inch biscuits.
  • Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush them with the reserved beaten egg. Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly golden on top.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my scones turned out dry and crumbly. I'm going to try making them again and see if I can get them right this time.

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

These scones were delicious! The only change I made was to use frozen cranberries instead of fresh. They turned out great.

These scones were a hit! I made them for a brunch party and they were gone in minutes. Everyone loved the light and fluffy texture, and the sweet and tangy flavor of the cranberries and orange zest.
