UltimateMama and her children love making Ultimate Star Scones! It is a quick and easy way to incorporate MATH (measuring) skills into your daily routine — not to mention fun and delicious. It is as easy as this:
Ingredients
2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon of baking powder
2 teaspoons of granulated pure cane sugar (plus another teaspoon for the topping)
3/4 cup of dried raspberries
1 cup of heavy cream (plus another teaspoon for topping)
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and sugar (2 teaspoons).
Next, add the dried raspberries.
Then, add the heavy cream (1 cup).
Form the dough into a large ball with your hands.
Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface (use a rolling pin). Dough should be about 3/4 inch thick.
Using a star shaped cookie cutter (or any other shape you fancy) cut the shapes in dough and place them on an ungreased cookie sheet.
When you have used all the dough up it is time for the topping.
For the topping use a pastry brush and paint the tops of the star shaped scones with the heavy cream. Use your fingers and sprinkle sugar on top of each scone.
Put the stars in the oven to bake (about 8-11 minutes).
Serve warm (or at room temperature) either plain, with raspberry jam, or whipped cream.
Enjoy!
Depending on the size of your cookie cutter it makes around 10-12 scones.
