Light and towering scones, this cream scone recipe takes well to additions of nuts, dried fruits, and other flavorings.

Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 T. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. table salt
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
Preparation
Step 1
Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and table salt. Stir in the whipping cream, just until incorporated. Do not overhandle the dough. Remove from the bowl and shape into a flattened disk. Cut into 8 wedges.
Separate each wedge and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake about 15 minutes, until lightly browned on bottom and edges. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
I add a T spoon of orange zest to the dough and 1/2 cup raisins. I glaze the scones after they are baked and still warm with 1 Tablespoon orange Juice mixed with 1/4 cuo powdered sugar , 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and a scant pinch of salt.
