Jill's Scones

From Grandma G.
Scone is just a fancy type of breakfast pastry. I hope you love coffee as much as your grandma and I so we can drink gallons while we eat our {fancy} scones!

4 C. flour
4 T. sugar
6 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/2 C. cold butter
1 tsp. extract flavoring (almond, vanilla, etc)
2 eggs
1 pint Half 'n' Half

Mix dry ingredients together. Cut in butter with pastry blender/whisk.

Add other ingredients to create {fancy} scones such as:
1 C. blueberries
1/2 C. chocolate chips
1 sliced banana
1/2 C. dried apricots, cherries, or craisins

Into a 2 C. measuring cup, break 2 eggs and add enough half 'n' half to measure 1 1/2 C. To that, add extract.
Beat with fork and add to dry ingredients. Mix lightly with hands to form into 12 balls on greased cookie sheet.
Flatten balls to 1" thick. Sprinkle with raw baking sugar.

Bake @ 450* for 12-15 minutes.

Serve fresh out of the oven with jam, butter, or fresh berries and cream!
