Quick scones



The boys had a sleepover so I wanted to make a quick easy breakfast without going to the store.  These scones were not pretty, but surprisingly easy.  (The pretty ones were eaten before I got the chance).

Preheat oven to 425

Mix 2 cups flour, 2 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt.

Mix in 4 tablespoons very soft butter.  Mix with your fingers until crumbly.

Add 1/3 rounded cup sugar and stir.  

Add 1/4 cup butter milk and form into a ball.  Press out until about 3/4 inch thick.  Cut into circles with a glass.

Put on a oiled and floured pan.  

Brush the top with heavy cream and sprinkle with a little sugar.

Bake 10-12 minutes, until lightly browned.
