The gals at
bedandbreakfastfoodies have a few good scone recipes on their site. I've tried the chocolate chip recipe and it was quite good..
Here is mine if you like ... they work well and I get rave reviews
In a food processor:
2 cups of flour, 1/4 c sugar, 1/4 tsp salt, 2 tsp baking powder ... pulse. 1/2 cup butter ... blend until mixed.
add extras here ... chocolate, dried berries, orange/lemon zest, etc. pulse.
mix 1/3 cup heavy cream and 2 eggs ... pulse into dry mixture until just mixed/moist (I hardly ever need all the liquid).
dump out onto counter and push dough together until it holds and divide into two. Flatten and make 2 rounds about 1 inch thick, brush on any left over cream/egg mixture or just some cream, sprinkle with sugar cut each round into 6 wedges and bake in 400 f oven for 12 to 15 minutes until just lightly golden.
I use the food processor as it is faster and my hands are usually too warm (although right now they are freezing). These are never dry and I am always asked for my recipe.
