Kevin's Famous Scones


My sister and her family are visiting for the long weekend. One of my many great joys in seeing them is requesting one of my brother-in-laws baked goods, usually his famous scones! He has been generous enough to share his recipe with Prudent Baby saying, "I make these on days that I have to work on weekends. Although it is not fun missing weekend time with Sunshine and crew, I think they may look forward to it. Bad for the arteries but good for the heart."

Doesn't he sound dreamy?



Kevin's not-top-secret scone recipe after the jump.


Scones
2.5 c flour
0.5 c sugar (I like turbinado sugar)
2.5 tsp. baking powder
0.5 tsp salt
6 Tblsp COLD unsalted butter
1 c heavy cream
0.5 c frozen fruit (~ish. Frozen helps keep the fruit intact. Blackberry and raspberry are my faves but have done peach, blueberry, chocolate chip, mango,

I use a stand mixer. Mix first 4 ingredients. Add butter (chopped) and mix to a meal. Add cream and mix. Add berries and mix. Place onto flat surface and form a circle. Sprinkle with more sugar and cut into wedges. Place wedges on baking sheet. Bake in 425 degree oven for 15-17 minutes.

I made these today and they are amazing! I'm so glad I made a double batch right from the start! These will be gone in a giff and I know they'll become a staple in our family. Kevin is now as famous in our home as his scones are! Thank you!

I've been putting this off for weeks! I finally broke down yesterday and made them! All I can say is I wish I had made them when I first saw the recipe, so fantastic! Thanks for posting it.
