  • 2 cups unbleached flour
  • 1 T baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or dried fruit
  • 1 1/4 cups whipping cream

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°

Combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a bowl. Add the chocolate chips (or optional ingredient, such as dried fruit).

Stir in the cream with a fork until dough holds together in a sticky mass; you may need to add a tablespoon or more of cream until dough holds together.

Turn dough out on a highly floured board. Knead several times.

Pat dough into a 10 inch circle. Cut into eight wedges; or other shape as desired.

Place on un-greased cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart.

Brush dough with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar.

Bake for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
