DRIES

4 cups white pastry or all-purpose flour

1/3 cup of sugar

1 Tablespoon and 1 tsp of baking powder

1 ½ teaspoon of salt

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in large mixing bowl. Set aside.

½ cup cold Butter

Cube cold butter and cut into flour mixture with fingertips until it resembles coarse cornmeal in texture or pea sized crumbles. If adding nuts, raisins, chips, or cranberries do so now, after the butter has been mixed in. NOT FROZEN BERRIES.

¾ cup of heavy cream, you can use half and half or regular milk but the scones won’t be as rich.

Mix cream and eggs in large pitcher. If adding flavorings such as vanilla do so now. Pour cream mixture into dries and mix until lightly combined. Add berries (if using). Use hands to finish mixing the dough until combined. Dough should be stiff, like biscuit dough. Scoop onto baking sheet. Bake for 22 – 26 minutes.
