Makes 8 scones

Ingredients

• 280 g of AP flour

• 15 g baking powder

• 40 g sugar

• 3 g salt

• 70 g (5 tablespoons) chilled butter cut into 1/4 inch cubes

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 1/2 cup filling (fruit or chocolate chips)

Directions

1. Prep

Preheat the oven to 440 and line a baking sheet with a silpat.

2. Make the mix

Whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles course meal. Stir in the filling followed by the heavy cream.

3. Shape and bake

Turn out the mix onto a floured surface and work it until it combines into a rough, sticky ball. About 8 to 10 seconds. Roll the dough out into an 8 inch circle and cut into 8 pieces. Place the scones on the backing sheet and cook for 12 to 18 minutes, or until the tops are lightly browned. After baking, cool the scones on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Serve the scones either still warm or at room temperature.
