English Tea Scones

This recipe is unlike any other scone I have ever had and that is why my friend, Krista, shared it with me. You will be grateful as well.

English Tea Scones
Ingredients:
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
buttermilk
1/2 tsp salt
6 Tbsp butter
1/2 cup dried cranberries (or dried cherries, apricots, raisins--CHERRIES are best in my opinion!)
1/2 cup white chocolate baking pieces

Directions:

Place egg in 1 cup liquid measuring cup. Add buttermilk to equal 1 cup (no buttermilk substitute vinegar with milk--check online)
Set aside. Combine dry ingredients. Cut in butter. Stir in cherries and white chocolate pieces. Add buttermilk mixture. Drop approximately 1/4 cup dough onto ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Devonshire Cream (spread on scones)**I have never used.**
3 oz softened cream cheese
1 T sifted confectioners sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/3-1/2 cup whipping cream

Beat cream cheese. Beat in sugar and vanilla. Then, beat in enough whipping cream to make the mixture a spreadable consistency. Do NOT overbeat. Chill 2-24 hours. Makes one cup.

Love these with a great cup of tea or coffee.
