Ingredients

  • 3 cups self-rising flour
  • 2 cups heavy cream

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the self-rising flour and heavy cream. Mix until a dough forms. If the dough seems too dry, add a little more cream, one tablespoon at a time, until it comes together.

  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times until smooth.

  • Pat the dough into a round shape about 1 inch thick. Using a round cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out scones and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather any leftover dough, gently knead it together, and cut out more scones. You should get anywhere from 9 to 10 scones.

  • Brush the tops of the scones with a little cream for a golden finish, if desired. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the scones are risen and golden brown.

Notes

  1. Use cold heavy cream to help the dough come together better and keep the scones tender.
  2. If the dough is too dry, add more cream, one tablespoon at a time.
  3. Gently fold and knead the dough to create layers for flakier scones.
  4. Store leftover scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  5. Freeze baked scones for up to 3 months; thaw and reheat in the oven before serving.
