Flaky Scones

I forgot geometry is not my forte,

hence these are

not perfect triangles.

They are, 

however,

completely delicious!

Not sure they

would pass muster

for flakiness

at the

county fair judging

but 

they are better

than anything at Starbucks.

The dough really gave me

a bit of anxiety.

It was too dry so I added

a little more cream

into the flour, sugar, baking powder,

baking soda, salt

and

grated butter.

Thanks Nancy!

I had my doubts 

this would work

but after a few fold overs

and rolling,

it came together.

Into the oven

and 

then a cool down between 

tea towels.

Voila!

For someone

who loves scones

but could never get them right,

this is another win

with one of Rose's

scone recipes.
