2 cups Flour
1 tablespoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
2 teaspoon dried Thyme
1 1/4 cups Heavy Cream
2 tablespoon Orange Zest
2 tablespoon Orange Juice Concentrate
sprinkle Thyme Salt (equal parts sea salt and dried thyme) - optional
This is a cream scone (not butter) and the extra fat in the heavy cream takes place of the butter. This produces a light fluffy scone. Use this recipe as a base and change the flavorings. At Salty’s we feature these flavors: Four-Cheese Scone, Sun-Dried Tomato Herb Scone, Lemon-Basil Scone and Pesto Scone.
Method
In a medium size bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt and thyme. Add cream, orange zest and orange juice concentrate and mix until just combined. Scoop on to baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle with a little Thyme Salt.
Bake at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown. Makes 2 dozen mini-scones or 1 dozen large scones.
