Hello everyone! It’s Jo here. I was looking back through the archives and saw this scone recipe and as today is a cozy snow day, I thought it’d be a perfect time to indulge with scones for tea time. This a variation of the original, I added fresh Cranberries and Pecans for a more festive taste.
To top it all off, I also whipped up a batch of mock Devonshire cream. Yummy! However, I would like to find a good recipe for REAL Devonshire cream. Any suggestions?
Cranberry Pecan Scones

1/3 C. Sugar,
1 tsp. Baking Powder,
¼ tsp. Baking Soda,
1/4 tsp. Salt,
½ C. Butter or one stick,
2/3 C. Buttermilk,
3/4 C. Fresh Cranberries,
1/2 C. Chopped Pecans,
Preheat oven to 400 degreesCombine the dry ingredients together in a medium bowl.
Then cut the butter in to the flour mixture just as you would with biscuits.
Add the cranberries and pecans to that mixture.
Stir in the buttermilk and gently mix everything together until it’s completely combined.Gently pat in to a circle on a greased baking sheet and cut into wedges.
Bake at 400 degrees for 20 to 25 min. or until it’s baked though the middle.

Do you have scones and tea time regularly?

These scones look so good. We love drinking tea. We also have a bakery within walking distance from our house and we always buy scones there. I think my favorite flavor scone is apricot. We have never made scones ourselves not sure why we haven’t. I guess I always thought they were hard to make. You always make everything look so beautiful. 🙂
