Scones
2 Cups flour

1/3 cup sugar

1 tsp. baking powder

¼ tsp. baking soda

1/4 tsp. salt

½ cup butter

2/3 cup buttermilk

Mix like you would biscuits. Then add your fresh fruit. (For a fun fall scone add cranberries, walnuts, and some orange peel.) Pat into a circle and cut into wedges, separate wedges slightly. Brush with a little egg white and 1 T. milk or cream, then sprinkle with coarse sugar.

 I used fresh peaches in the scones this time.

Bake @ 400 degrees for about 15-20 min. Make sure it is cooked thru in the center. Then make some Devonshire and enjoy to the fullest!
 
Devonshire Cream:

1 package cream cheese (8 oz.) 
1/4 C sour cream
6 T powdered sugar 

Beat together until smooth and enjoy.
