Cream Scones - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup heavy cream (35%)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425\u00b0F.
In a large bowl, sift together the dry ingredients.
Gradually add enough of the cream to form a soft dough.
Knead lightly on a floured board, handling the dough gently to retain the air needed for the scones to rise.
Roll out to a 1/2- to 3/4-inch thickness.
Cut into 2 inch rounds with a sharp knife or use a cookie cutter.
Arrange on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving a 1/2 inch space around each one.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
