Cream Scones with Honey Butter

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/3 cup chilled butter
• 1 cup whipping cream

Directions

Preheat oven to 350F. Spray baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Combine first 3 ingredients. Cut in chilled butter. Add whipping cream. Mix until moist. Knead 5-7 times, until a soft moist dough forms. Divide into 3 equal portions. Pat each portion out to 1/2″ thick, cut into 8 wedges and place on baking sheet. Repeat with other 2 portions. Bake for 10-15 minutes or just until bottoms begin to brown.

Honey Butter:
Mix equal portions of butter (at room temperature) and honey. Mix well. Best served fresh. For variation, add a complementary flavoring such as cinnamon, almond extract, herbs or nuts.
