  • Fresh Fruit cream scones

    These were YUMMMMMMY

    I just thought I would share a recipe that I made for a summer dinner garden party this weekend. Everyone loved them, and the great thing is they were something I quickly mixed up just before everyone come (only because I forgot to get the cheesecake out of the freezer).

    I served the scones with a blob of whipping cream on the side and asked everyone to pick their own strawberries to add on the side.

    Recipe:
    2 cups (280 grams) self raising flour,
    1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated white sugar,
    2 teaspoons (10 grams) baking powder,
    1/8 teaspoon salt,
    1/3 cup (76 grams) cold unsalted butter,
    1 large egg, lightly beaten,
    1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract,
    1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy whipping cream,
    Egg mixture for brushing tops of scones: 1 large egg, lightly beaten,
    1 tablespoon heavy cream

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line tray with parchment paper. Add together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Rub butter into mix making coarse crumbs. Mix together whipping cream, beaten egg and vanilla, then add to the flour mixture. Stir till combined. knead dough on a floured surface. Roll dough into a circle about 7 inches and about 1 1/2 inches thick. Cut circle into 8 triangular sections (you can also use cutters). Brush with mixture. Bake for about 15 minutes.

    That sounds like my sort of scone - will definitely give it a go! Have you every used gluten free flour for any of your recipes? I need to so was just wondering as I do miss my biscuits and cakes!

      Never given it a try - but it's all trial and error. Give it a go and if they don't taste good don't cook them again. ha ha ha sounds a bit look my cooking down to a T.
      I'm sure it wont be a problem, the cream over powers any taste of flour anyway.
