Here's the recipe for the scones I made for Sara's shower.
2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 T baking powder
1/2 t. salt
6 T butter
1 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup of each mix-in: dried cranberries and orange zest (zest the peel of one orange)
or chopped pecans, white chocolate chips, and dried apricots
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in large bowl. Cut the butter into tiny pieces and add into the mixture. Continue cutting the butter into flour mixture until butter pieces are no larger than a pea. Make a well in the center of mixture and pour cream into it. Using your hands, mix by hand until the dry ingredients are all moistened. Gather into a ball and knead on lightly floured surface ten times. Add mix-ins. Roll the dough to 1/4-1/2 inch thick large square. Trim sides of square to make even and then cut into 12 smaller squares of equal size. Then divide squares diagonal to create triangles. Put triangles on ungreased cookie sheet. Sprinkle tops with sugar and bake 15 minutes or until golden brown and moist in center. 1 batch yields about 16 triangles.
(I made cream cheese frosting to add a little more sweetness to the goodness and lightly frosted them while they were still hot.)
