conundrum: heavy creme

[Z]

Crack Scones:

2.5c flour
0.5c sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cloves
0.25c butter
1c heavy cream
1c cranberries, sultanas, or other fruit of choice

Mix first five ingredients. Cut in butter. Add in cream and fruit (reserve 1 tbsp cream for brushing tops). Once dough formed, form into round disk 1-2" tall. Slice into eighths. Put on baking sheet, brush tops with reserved cream, bake at 425F for 15-18 mins or until tops start to brown.

Cool enough to not burn your mouth when you eat them.

EDIT: Fixed ingredients to list baking powder, not baking soda

Aside from having it on pecan pie, I love to pour it on and around chocolate cake. Whatever you do, don't whip it and don't put any sugar in it. Just straight.

mmm, scones. My spouse used to have an older Irish woman what made scones once a week. She even got Irish butter and flour from the home country. How Irish was she?
Once they're 30 mins old, they're not worth eating.
Dunno, I had them hours old and they were way better than any others I ever had.

These ones stay good more than 30 minutes, they just don't stick around for more than 30 minutes.

I keep running out of time. Perhaps Fri or Sat.
Time will tell.
