Scones 10 Cups of flour

4. Shape the Scones

  1. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide it into smaller portions for easier handling.
  2. Pat each portion into a circle about 1-inch thick. Use a sharp knife or biscuit cutter to cut the dough into triangles, squares, or rounds.
  3. Place the shaped scones on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each piece.

5. Brush and Sprinkle

  1. Brush the tops of the scones lightly with additional heavy cream.
  2. Sprinkle generously with coarse sugar for a sweet, crunchy topping.

6. Bake

  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on top and cooked through.
  2. Rotate the pans halfway through baking to ensure even browning.

7. Cool and Serve

  1. Let the scones cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  2. Serve warm with butter, jam, honey, or clotted cream—or enjoy them plain for a simple treat.

Serving Suggestions

  • For Breakfast: Pair with coffee, tea, or hot cocoa for a cozy morning treat.
  • At Gatherings: Serve as part of a brunch spread or afternoon tea with sandwiches and pastries.
  • With Extras: Split cooled scones in half and toast them for an extra-crispy texture.
  • Meal Prep: Store cooled scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.

Pro Tips for Success

  • Keep Ingredients Cold: Use cold butter and cream to ensure a flaky texture. You can even chill the dough briefly before baking.
  • Don’t Overwork the Dough: Handle the dough as little as possible to avoid tough scones.
  • Experiment with Mix-Ins: Try combinations like white chocolate and raspberry, cheddar and chives, or pecans and maple glaze.
  • Freeze for Later: Freeze unbaked scones on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
