DiscussionsSweet Treats and Desserts

Has anyone tried is recipe? I ended up with a pile of goo and needed to add more than a cup of flour to get a dough I could handle...they tasted great, but were a little tough. Anyone familar with scones? The recipe called for 2 cups of flour and 1-1/3 cups whipping cream.

Hi ASUMom: 

I had sent the Pillsbury Kitchens your post to see if the recipe was correct.

From there, they had re-made it to make sure. Here, Libby talks about the results: 

Andi had the recipe run up in the kitchens, and it performed beautifully without modification.  In fact, dough almost seemed too dry, but came together when kneading.  I went down to taste them, and they were spectacular – a real winner.   Andi suggests to our consumer that perhaps she didn’t use real whipping cream; anything else will not provide the fat needed to make the scones successfully (no fat free, half-and-half, etc.).  That, and of course, careful measuring. 

I wanted to share this helpful video with you with you are working with flour:

Hope this helps or inspires!
