Easy Heavy Cream Scones
A simple six-ingredient recipe to make basic sweet scones, perfect for topping.
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Baking Sheet
- Rolling Pin
- Cookie Cutter
- Pastry Brush
Ingredients
- 2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 Tbsp Baking Powder
- ¾ Tsp Kosher Salt
- 4 Tbsp Unsalted Butter Melted
- 1¼ Cups Heavy Cream
- 3 Tbsp Granulated Sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F
- Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Add 2 Tbsp of melted butter and all of the heavy cream to the dry ingredients, and stir until a dough forms.
- Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and knead until it forms a ball.
- Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out into a square about ¾ inch thick.
- Cut circles of dough out with a cookie cutter (round works best).
- Gather the remaining scraps and roll them back up, roll it out, and cut more. You should end up with about 8 scones.
- Brush the tops of each scone with melted butter.
- Bake until browned and risen, about 15 minutes.
- Let rest for 5 minutes, then serve. Since they'll be bland on their own, top with something like my berry compote!
