Author:
Recipe type: Breakfast
Serves: 9
Ingredients
  • 2 cups freshly milled soft white wheat flour plus a little more to flour your cutting board.
  • 1 Tbsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 5 Tbsps. unsalted butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup fresh red currants or other berries
Instructions
  1. Grate the butter and set it in the freezer for approximately 20 minutes.
  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment.
  3. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  4. Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  5. Cut butter into flour mixture using a pastry blender or a fork.
  6. Stir in berries.
  7. Stir in heavy cream. Be gentle. Some of the berries are going to get broken in this process, but it is nice if some can remain whole too.
  8. Pour dough out onto a lightly floured cutting board.
  9. Gathering up the loose pieces, press together until if forms a shaggy ball. Then press until about ½ inch thick. Cut with a round cutter. I used one 3 inches in diameter and ended up with 9 scones, but if you use a smaller cutter, you will get more.
  10. Bake for approximately 10 minutes or until golden.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving
