ingredients
-
Scones
- 1 cup strawberry, diced
- 2 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 dash salt
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 2⁄3 cup milk or 2/3 cup cream
-
Topping
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1⁄4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
directions
- Heat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Dice strawberries and set aside.
- In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add butter and blend until it is crumbly.This can be done in a food processor to speed things up.
- Stir in strawberries and toss.
- Add milk or cream.
- Mix until it holds together.
- Divide dough in half.
- On floured surface, roll into 2 circles 1/2 inch thick.
- Cut, as for pie, into 6 slices each.
- Place on greased cookie sheet.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
- While scones are baking, whip the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla in a cold bowl until stiff.
- Notes: I make the dough in the morning and cut it, put it on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper and freeze it. When I am ready for a cuppa and a scone, I take however many I want out and bake, adding about 3 or 4 minutes to my baking time. I put the rest of the dough in a freezer bag and return it to the freezer. That way, you can always have fresh scones in a jiffy. I also brush them with cream and sprinkle with sugar before baking.

<p>This is me. Taken at my B-day last year. <br /> <br />I am 41 years old. Been married to my fantastic Honey for goingon 4 years now. I have one son, 23, who is engaged to a beautiful, vivaceous woman. I am a medical transcriptionist - work in the office at our local hospital. I love to cook, that is my relaxation. I love baking, especially cookies and scones. We live in a raised ranch at the very edge of the city limits - corps of engineer wetland area across the road, city soccer field in my back yard. We live in a town of about 10,000 - a little too big for my liking, but that is alright. It is quiet here, tho. We have 1 cat, Miss Callie, who is (big surprise here LOL) a calico cat. I enjoy counted cross stitch, reading - mysteries mostly, walks, teatime, board games and of course, cooking! <br /> <br />http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/555701/wazzzzzup.jpg This is my baby kittie!
