Cream Scones and an Unhurried Pot of Tea
Recipe by PJ Hamel · King Arthur Baking
Not every weekend gathering needs a full brunch menu. PJ Hamel’s cream tea scones at King Arthur Baking offer a smaller occasion: a bake, a pot of tea and enough time to sit down. Heavy cream and vanilla are central to this recipe, which also includes optional additions.

Our serving suggestion: start with the plain version when serving several jams or preserves. That keeps the table flexible and lets each person choose a favorite. Use small plates rather than a crowded buffet setup. The pleasure here is in making a short visit feel considered.
