Our Old Fashioned and Almond Nutmeg Scone mixes make baking warm, moist and crumbly scones so easy. We source our flour from the Carolina Ground Mill in Hendersonville, NC where North Carolina grown organic wheat is ground carefully into the highest quality unbleached pastry flour. It's delicious and flavorful with a delicate texture that is just right for scones.
Pour contents of Scone Mix into large mixing bowl. Use a fork to whisk dry mix to ensure flour is light and without clumps and that all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Pour one cup Heavy Cream into dry ingredients and stir gently with fork until all moisture is aborbed. It will be dry and clumpy, don’t be tempted to add extra cream at this point.
Discard the fork and use your hand to gently press the dough together. Avoid “kneading” the dough, you just want to turn and press until the flour is absorbed. If it is still very loose you may add a couple drops of extra cream, but it should not be sticky.
Form the Scones
Once mostly incorporated, turn the dough onto a flat surface and continue to fold and press until all flour is incorporated. Flatten into a circle about 1 -1 ½” thick. Cut into six wedges, or use a 2 ½” round cutter to divide into scones.
Brush the tops of each scone with a drop of heavy cream and sprinkle with a spoon of sugar.
Bake
Place scones on parchment lined baking sheet and bake in a preheated 375 F oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Serve warm with Jam or let cool and serve as Strawberry Shortcake with our recipe for No-Churn Strawberry Ice Cream!
