- Prepare 9" cake pan for baking. Cooking parchment is best.
- Oven to 375-400 degrees F.
|
In a 2 cup measure:
- 2 eggs
- Fill to 2-cup mark with heavy cream.
|
- Gently beat with egg beater or whisk.
|
In a 4-cup measure:
- 1/3 c sugar
- 1/2 c buttermilk powder
- large handful currants
- 2 t cardamon, ground
- 1 t anise seed
- 1 t baking soda
- 1 T baking powder
- Top off with white or combination white and whole wheat flour.
|
- Sift dry ingredients into large bowl and make an indentation in the middle.
|
| |
- Pour wet ingredients into dry. Stir gently while liquid is absorbed.
- Let sit for one minute to finish absorption.
- Knead gently and briefly. Dough can be a little bit moist but not too sticky to shape.
- Divide dough into eight parts. Shape into flat balls. Place in prepared pan: one in the middle, seven around the edge. Don't worry about gaps - they will fill as scones bake.
- 375-400 degrees for 30 minutes.
