I often serve an English tea for a group of ladies and I always include these scones. They have such a wonderful flavor.—Candace Stephenson, Port Orchard, Washington

Ingredients

  • 1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
  • 4-1/2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2-1/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk

Directions

  1. In a bowl, combine the first six ingredients; cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Combine eggs and cream; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Turn onto a floured surface; gently pat into a 7-in. circle, 3/4-in. thick. Cut into eight wedges.
  3. Separate wedges; place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush tops with buttermilk. Let stand for 15 minutes. Bake at 450° for 14-16 minutes or until golden brown.
