    Cream Scones

    Published: Nov 30, 2009 · Modified: Jan 16, 2013 by Coleen · This post may contain affiliate links.

    These are absolutely my favorite scones of all time. The recipe was provided to me by one of my chef-instructors at The Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College in Philadelphia, PA. 

    They are not as dry as scones typically are. They are fantastic with the addition of cinnamon, dried fruit, or chocolate chips — or whatever you can think of!
