Simple, Creamy, Sweet Scones with Whipping Cream Recipe
April 20, 2012 by Aimee • 35 Comments
I absolutely L.O.V.E tea parties!
So it’s fitting that my favorite birthday breakfast is…
Simple, Creamy, Sweet Scones
with whipping cream and Hot Tea!
Here’s my recipe, You should definitely give it a try!
Scones have a bad rep for being difficult and time consuming….they’re really not!
Cut in COLD butter with Dough Blender
Mix a COLD egg and milk in a small bowl.
Use the mixer to combine the liquid into the four mixture until moistened.
Don’t overmix…handle the dough as little as possible!
Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface and knead briefly.
Roll dough out into a 1/2 inch thick rectangle.
{I like to cut my scones out with my Crinkle Cut Knife
Cut into triangle wedges and coat with sugar.
Place on prepared baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Toma, I finally posted my recipe for you! XO, Aimee
Whipping Cream
1 cup whipping cream
1-2 tablespoons granulated white sugar, to taste
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
*optional: add 1/2 cup of strawberry or raspberry jam, or 2 tablespoons cocoa
Place your beaters and bowl in the freezer for 20 minutes. Remove and beat above ingredients with mixer until stiff peaks form. Makes about 2 cups.
These look delightful! All of your pictures are always so beautiful and enticing. Thanks for the recipe!
Wow, I’m saving this recipe. Looks wonderful!

I love ones and tea parties as well. In fact, I recently had two teas and invited friends to both. We had a blast, and one of the things I served was cinnamon raisin scones. Unfortunately, I have two stents in my heart, so nobutter for me. I made a recipe that called for NO FAT at all–just buttermilk–and they were actually quite good. I’m sure everyone will enjoy the recipe you shared. Have you ever served/eaten clotted cream and jam with yours? Absolutely scrumptious although I won’t be having clotted cream again myself. If you are interested in the no fat recipe, you can email me at Cashel1916@yahoo.com and I’d be happy to share it with you.
Wow! What an offer! I’d love your recipe!!! I have had it with clotted cream, DELICIOUS! On a more regular basis, it’d be great to have a healthy alternative! Thanks so much!!! XO, Aimee
Yum scones jam and cream are a match made in heavan. These look so good
Your blog is wonderful! I love all of the ideas and great photography! Blessings, Sarah
Pleased to receive your sweet scone recipe and give it a try for my birthday breakfast on Tuesday.
Great idea to use the crinkle knife; it’s been hiding in a kitchen drawer for some time.

Yum would be an indulgent breakfast! Would love you to link the post up at my new link party – Breakfast Ideas Mondays – http://www.yummyinspirations.net/2012/04/breakfast-ideas-mondays-1-new-link-up.html
oh they look good, and now I want a crinkle cutter too:(
Scones can be very dry and tasteless unless something has been added to perk them up. I have worked for a scone baker and have been making them for years. Such things as cranberries and orange zest, chopped apricots and white chocolate chips, lemon pecan, cinnamon chips and on and on. Rolling them 1/3 inch thick will make them even drier. And make sure you never over bake them. Jan

Thanks so much for your sweet notes!!! I think it’s the butter addition that makes them real creamy! I’ve never had a bit of problem with tasting dry! Definitely keep an eye on them so they don’t overcook!!! Happy baking!!!
XO, Aimee
This recipe looks fabulous! I had not ever really been exposed to scones until just lately… but how right you are… so perfect with a cup of tea.
