These Simple Scones are amazing, delicious and oh so simple to make!

You’ll fall in love with this easy recipe and nothing beats a warm scone with a mug of hot coffee. And there’s limitless flavor options! Cranberry Pecan, Blueberry Walnut, Huckleberry Pecan, Peach Pecan and more! Whatever strikes your fancy.
These Simple Scones look amazing! And so easy to make as well, always a plus!
We love mixing these Simple Scones up the moment we know that we’re having surprise guests over for coffee and dessert. Do you have a go-to dessert that mixes up in in a flash for those surprise drop-ins from friends? It’s nice being prepared for those things and having a few recipes up one’s sleeve generally helps! For example, these easy and delicious hot drinks are the perfect companion to scones or a yummy pastry.
Ohhh, yes! Coffee and a hot scone with mock Devonshire cream

In Sweden, coffee and a dessert is called Fika and is a time to savor good food, hot coffee, and friendship.

I love that idea and it’s such an easy and simple concept to incorporate into your daily life. Truly, our family has been doing it for a long time without even realizing it. Fika is also based on the concept that sweets aren’t to be a constant indulgence but rather, what they are, a treat. After working in the garden, stacking wood, or a long walk would be the time to indulge in Fika.
Simple Scones, a delicious and easy recipe at Forgotten Way Farms blog!

This simple scone recipe is also featured in the “Cozy Christmas Baking: A Hygge-Inspired Christmas” cookbook that my daughter Jo and I wrote. Filled to the brim with over 40 plus recipes on yeast breads, quick breads, cakes, pies, cookies and sweet treats. There’s also a section on having hygge-filled holidays, and thoughts on simpler, cozier Christmas celebrations. Get a sneak peek by watching the book trailer we filmed for it! And, pop by and check out the post I wrote about it here! Cozy Chrstmas Baking: A Hygge Inspired Christmas|Book Review

I love having teatime or fika with my daughters, it’s a lovely time to catch up and run over lists and what we’re going to make for dinner. All that little stuff, I find that the little things can be running in the background and sometimes just talking about them or setting them to paper helps free my mind up. And sometimes, you just need to make time for a treat and rest time. Between homeschooling and blogging (both can require lots of creativity!) you need a break from creating just as you would with a physical activity. So, make time for Fika! And then get back to work with a fresh start and a clear head.

Simple Scones

These Simple Scones are a breeze to whip up and oh so yummy! Perfect for afternoon Fika and hot coffee.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Flour
  • 1/3 cup Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Butter
  • 2/3 cup Buttermilk
  • 1 cup Fruit
  • 1/2 cup Nuts

For the Devonshire Cream:

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

Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, mix the dry ingredients together until combined and fluffy ( I do this with a whisk, it almost acts like sifting but is quicker). Then, cut the chilled butter into chunks and add to the dry mixture. Cut the butter chunks into the flour mixture as you would biscuits or pie dough. Pour in the Buttermilk and carefully stir until combined. Then, add your fresh fruit, and nuts if you want them. (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.
  2. Bake at 400 degrees for about 15-20 min. Make sure it is cooked through in the center.
  3. Then make some Devonshire and enjoy to the fullest!

For Devonshire Cream, simply blend the cream cheese, sour cream, and powdered sugar until smooth and enjoy.

I use these Silpat Baking mats practically every day, they make clean up so easy and the scones just slip off, no messy chunks left behind!

How do you feel about Fika? I hope you try this recipe and enjoy it over coffee with friends!
