cream scones

Thanks to one of my twitter friends I got her grandma's recipe for scones.

Since her grandmother didn't give measurements I looked at this recipe from the joy of baking as a guide. I also added vanilla bean and almonds to the recipe.

Here's them getting ready to go into the oven. I brushed them with cream.


Here's right out of the oven. I think I'll move the rack higher as the bottom got a little more brown than I wanted with the top not as brown as I'd like.


And here's how I had that plump one in the forefront of the last picture: with Sarabeth's peach-apricot preserves and double devon cream.
