Scones

So those who know me know that bread and I have been good friends for a very long time.  I love freshly baked bread of any and all sort.
Today, I made one of my favorites.  Cream scones.  These are my favorite any time of day but especially for breakfast.  I got the recipe years ago from a blog of a lady who was living in England.  I can't remember what its called though. It is my all time favorite scone recipe. I grew up with an aunt and a great aunt who loved England and all things tea and scone.  So the fact that this recipe is my favorite is a big deal.
So here it is.
Cream Scone
2 Cups Flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 Cup sugar
1 pint (2 Cups) Heavy cream (this needs to be the thickest, heaviest cream you can find.)
2 Tablespoons butter
1 Tablespoon sugar

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Combine the first 4 ingredients with a fork.
Slowly mix in the cream.  You may not use all the cream so do it slowly.  I usually put an entire cup in and then slowly add it till its sticky to the touch.
Knead it a bit.  Then transfer to a baking sheet (or a cutting board). Pat into a 10"circle and cut into 8 wedges. Seperate them.
Melt the butter and brush on the scones then sprinkle the sugar on the scones.
Bake for 17 minutes.
