Cream Tea Scones

These cream scones are proof that sometimes the simplest bakes are the most satisfying. No fancy ingredients, no elaborate techniques — just flour, sugar, leavening, salt, a hint of vanilla, and enough cream to bring it all together. The dough comes together in minutes, is pat into a circle, and cut into wedges before a quick chill and bake. The result? Golden, ultra-tender scones that are crisp at the edges and soft in the center — just waiting to be slathered with butter, topped with jam, and paired with a steaming cup of tea.
