Scones

Okay, I'm not English, but I really love scones! We had some for breakfast this morning and if you were here you would now be asking me for the recipe. How do I know this? Because every time I serve these particular scones, I get asked for the recipe. So, since you asked (or would have asked), here it is.

Scones

1 egg, beaten

Buttermilk

2 cups flour

1/4 cup sugar

2 1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

6 Tbs. butter softened

1/2 cup craisins, currants or raisins (today I actually used dried blueberries -mmm)

1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Put egg into a 1 cup measuring cup and add enough buttermilk to make 1 cup.  In a different bowl combine next four ingredients.  Cut in butter until crumbly.  Add chips and raisins.  Add liquid and stir until just moistened.  Drop 1/2 cup at a time onto an ungreased cookie sheet.  Makes 12 scones.  Bake at 400 deg. for 12-15 minutes.

Devonshire Cream (You HAVE to have it with the cream!)

3 oz. softened cream cheese

1 Tbs. powdered sugar

1/2 tsp. vanilla

1/3-1/2 cup whipped cream

Beat the cream cheese and add the sugar and vanilla.  Beat well.  Beat in whipped cream.  Cover and chill 2 -24 hours.

If you make the cream tonight, you can, too, can have awesome scones in the morning!
