Berry Scones

Ingredients:

• 2 1/4 cups flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. cloves
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 cup cream
• 3/4 fresh or unthawed berries 

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cloves. Cut butter into mixture until it resembles a course meal. 

Set aside 2 tsp. cream. Add remaining cream and berries to dry ingredients. Mix lightly with fork until mixture clings together and forms a stiff dough. 

Knead on floured board 5-6 times. Roll into 7" round; cut into wedges. Place 1" apart on greased baking sheet; pierce top and brush with cream. Bake at 425 degrees for 15-18 minutes. Serve warm. Makes about 12 scones.
