Time 30m

Yield Twelve to 14 scones

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups sifted cake flour, or 1 3/4 cups sifted unbleached white flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 heaping tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter, cut into 8 pieces
2 eggs
1/3 cup half-and-half

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter. Continue blending until the butter particles are pea-size.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the beaten eggs and set aside. Mix in the half-and-half. Pour the egg and half-and-half mixture into the dry ingredients and stir together with a few strokes.
  • Pat the dough out onto a floured board to a thickness of one-half to three-quarter inches. Be careful to handle the dough as little as possible. Cut the dough into 2-inch biscuits.
  • Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush them with the reserved beaten egg. Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly golden on top.

I'm not a fan of scones, but these were actually pretty good.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my scones came out really dense.

These scones were way too sweet for me. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my scones didn't turn out as light and fluffy as I expected.

These scones were a little dry for my taste, but they were still good.

These scones are amazing! I love the way the cranberries and orange zest add a pop of flavor.

I'm not a big baker, but I was able to make these scones without any problems. They were delicious and my family loved them.

These scones were so easy to make and they turned out so well! I love that I can use different ingredients to make them my own.

I've tried many scone recipes, but this one is by far the best. The scones are perfectly golden brown and have a wonderful crumb.

These scones were a hit at my brunch party! They were light and fluffy, with just the right amount of sweetness. I'll definitely be making them again.
