Rose Cream Scones

Rose Garden

These Rose Cream Scones with Strawberry-Raspberry Quick Jam are the perfect simple and sweet scone for tea in the garden.

Rose Cream Scones
Serves: 15
 
Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cake flour, such as Swans Down
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 4 tablespoons cold salted butter, cut into pieces
  • ¾ cup plus 1 tablespoon cold heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ teaspoon rose extract, such as Nielsen-Massey
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine flours, sugar, baking powder, salt,
and cream of tartar, whisking well. Using a pastry blender, cut butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a liquid-measuring cup, combine cream and rose extract, stirring
well. Add to flour mixture, stirring until mixture is evenly moist. (If dough seems dry, add more cream,
1 tablespoon at a time.) Working gently, bring mixture together with hands until a dough forms.
  5. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently 3
to 4 times. Using a rolling pin, roll dough to a ½-inch thickness. Using
a 2-inch fluted round cutter, cut 15 scones from dough, rerolling scraps as necessary. Place scones 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake until edges of scones are golden brown and a wooden pick inserted in the centers comes out clean, approximately 15 minutes.
