I admit- that scutterbotch scone recipe was a little over the top.<\/p>\n

As I said in someone\u2019s comment section, we Americans tend to put a lot of extra bits<\/p>\n

and pieces and flavors into<\/span><\/strong> the scone rather than on top of it after it is baked.<\/p>\n

So I\u2019m doing a cream scone, today.\u00a0 Actually, I may do two cream scones- since I have four<\/p>\n

recipes to choose from- \"Smile\" -I\u2019m trying to put two of a type together and only make up two<\/p>\n

batches.\u00a0 Because what would I possibly do with 4 batches of scones in one day?<\/p>\n

I combined the recipes, adding an egg to this one and cutting down on the cream in this<\/p>\n

one \u2013 choosing to bake at 425 degrees F\u00a0 rather than 450 degrees and I came up with a very<\/p>\n

good scone.<\/p>\n

\"009\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m calling these North American scones- since the recipes came from America\u2019s Test<\/p>\n

kitchens and a friend from Newfoundland, Canada.<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/p>\n

2 cups AP or plain flour (250 gr)<\/p>\n

1 Tablespoon baking powder (scant)<\/p>\n

3 Tablespoons sugar<\/p>\n

pinch of salt<\/p>\n

5 Tablespoons cold butter (50 gr)<\/p>\n

1 large egg<\/p>\n

1 cup heavy cream (250 gr)<\/p>\n

Gourmet sugar for sprinkling on top<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (not sure what this is for Celcius- it is a very hot oven!)<\/p>\n

Sift dry ingredients into medium size bowl, cut in\u00a0 butter with two knives until very small-<\/p>\n

the size of oatmeal.\u00a0 Make a well in the center of the flour mix, whisk the egg and cream<\/p>\n

together and pour into well and mix together using a light touch.<\/p>\n

Shape into a large circle about an inch and a half high and cut into shapes with knife or<\/p>\n

cookie cutters.<\/p>\n

\"003\"<\/a>\"004\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"005\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper,<\/p>\n

\"006\"<\/a><\/p>\n

brush with egg wash,<\/p>\n

\"007\"<\/a><\/p>\n

and sprinkle with sugar- then bake for 15 minutes.<\/p>\n

\"008\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Serve warm with butter or clotted cream and jam.<\/p>\n
