Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cup flour
• 1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
• 4 1/2 teaspoons sugar

Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl, combine the first six ingredients; but in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine eggs and cream; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Turn onto a floured surface; gently pat into a 7" circle, 3'4" thick.

Cut into 8 wedges. Separate wedges; place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush tops with buttermilk. Let rest 15 minutes.

Bake at 450 degrees for 14-16 minutes, or until golden brown.

Yield: 8 scones.
