For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of ground cardamom to the dough. Serve warm with clotted cream and jam. For best results, use cold ingredients. You can experiment with different flours, such as pastry flour or a combination of all-purpose and whole wheat flour, to achieve a slightly different texture and flavor. Store leftover scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a low oven or microwave before serving.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt to ensure a light and airy texture. (3 minutes)
03
StepAdd the heavy cream, melted butter, and milk to the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined, forming a soft, spongy dough. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough scones. (5 minutes)
04
StepTurn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a rectangle approximately 3/4-inch thick and 7-inches wide. (2 minutes)
05
StepUsing a sharp knife or pastry cutter, cut the rectangle into 6 equal triangles. (2 minutes)
06
StepCarefully arrange the scones on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each. (1 minute)
07
StepBake in the preheated oven for 10 to 13 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden brown and have risen nicely. (10-13 minutes)
08
StepTransfer the baked scones to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite toppings.
