Paula D's Cream Scones w/ Strawberry Preserves
(I found my own preserve recipe w/o added sugar)
What you need:
- Strawberry Preserves (See Strawberry Preserves recipe)
- 2 cups cake flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- A PINCH of salt (more if you want - this is for a low sodium household)
- 1 egg (egg white and yolk separated)
- Lemon zest (so 1 lemon would work)
- Light cream (1 cup or so - the lady on Paula D's show didn't measure - which I loved)
- Butter (Also not measured, but it looked like a stick of butter, cut up in 8 squares)
Directions (As I wrote them - I followed along with the TV)
- In a mixing bowl add 2 cups cake flour, 2 tsp baking powder, a pinch of salt
- Separate an egg (egg white and egg yolk - the egg white is beaten and brushed on the scones before they are placed in the oven)
- Mix dry ingredients
- Add egg yolk to mixing bowl
- Add light cream to mixing bowl
- Add cut up COLD butter
- Mix ingredients
- Lay down some powder and add the mixture, patting down into a circle
- Cut mixture in continued halfs until cut up like a pizzza
- Beat your egg white and brush on the scones
- Add sugar (optional - we will be doing so)
- Bake on 450 for 10 minutes
- Spread on your preserves
- ENJOY!!!
