Fresh Scones for the Royal Wedding

Just in time for Harry & Megans vows we enjoyed these delicious scones.







1 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs

3 cups flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup raisins (optional)

1/2 cup whipping cream +
2 tbsp. + cold water


Cream butter and sugar until soft and the butter has softened. Add eggs one at a time. Beat until light and fluffy.
In another bowl mix together flour, baking powder and salt. Add raisins. Mix again.

Add creamed butter mixture to the dry mixture. Add whipping cream.
Fold wet into dry until the mixture almost comes together. Be careful at this point not to over mix.
If the the mixture is too dry add cold water, 1 tbsp. at a time.

Fold out onto a flat surface and roll out to 1 inch thick (this can be done with your hands).
Cut into rounds.
Brush the top of each scone with whipping cream and sprinkle with sugar.

Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
