Cream Scones, Delicious Scones from the prestigious Culinary Institute of America. Scones arent just for tea anymore. Like the humble all-American biscuit, they offer a satisfying addition to almost any meal. These light, flaky crumb and tender texture scones complement any dish. Scones have gone from the classic teatime essential to a trendy and sophisticated anytime snack. These are hands down the most tender and delicious scones I have ever eaten. The scone dough must be frozen for up to 12 hours before use. For tender, flaky scones refer to these guidelines: 1. Do not over mix. If you work the dough too much, your scones will be tough and chewy. 2. Roll or pat the dough so that it is at least one-half inch thick. Thicker dough results in a better shape and lighter texture. 3. Watch the clock when baking. Like most baked goods, scones continue to bake as they cool., I have used this recipe for years – always has worked well even with frozen strawberries, fresh fruit, dried fruit and added orange or lemon zest – don’t add more than 1-1/2 cups of fruit., Thank you for a wonderful recipe. AWESOME! It’s quick, simple, and the outcome is outstanding! The scones are melt-in-your mouth delicious and delicately tender. Thumbs up! Using a springform pan made the process swift and cleanup a breeze. These will quickly become a family favorite. Reminds me of living in Britain some 35 years ago.
