Scones

================

2 1/4 cups flour

1/2 cup sugar

2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

6 Tbsp. cold butter

1 cup heavy cream

3/4 cup fresh or frozen raspberries/blueberries, etc..

extra cream and sugar

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and

salt. Cut butter into mixture with pastry blender until it resembles a

course meal. Add cream to dry ingredients. Mix lightly

with fork and just before the mixture comes together add the frozen berries. Form the dough into a ball and then pat out into a circle on a floured board.

Roll into 7-inch round and cut into 6 or 8 wedges. Place 1 inch apart on greased baking sheet; brush tops with cream and sprinkle with sugar.

Bake for 15 to 18 minutes.

Note: When adding fruit to the scone mixture, make sure the raspberries or blueberries are frozen. Otherwise you end up with crushed fruit.

Still tastes as good, but not as pretty.
