Soon after Lowell and I were married almost 14 years ago, I worked a couple days a week at a dainty restaurant called The Tea Room. I filled several positions during the time I was there, including baker, cook, and waitress. I enjoyed all of them!
This recipe for scones comes from The Tea Room and I can share it with you now that they are no longer in business – and haven’t been for quite a few years.
I think you’ll like this recipe! My children like to eat the Devonshire Cream all by itself! It’s very addicting.
Tea Room Scones

Tea Room Scones
Mix:
4 cups flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 1/2 cups butter, softened
Set aside.
Mix:
4 eggs
1 cup half-n-half cream
Add to above dry mixture, reserving 1/4 cup for tops of scones. Knead a few times on floured board, but don’t overknead it. Roll out to 3/4 inch thick. You can cut them in shapes using cookie cutter, or in triangles using a pizza cutter. Place on greased cookie sheet. Brush tops of scones with reserved egg/cream liquid. Sprinkle with sugar.
Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes, being care not to overbake.
Makes approximately 12-16 scones.

Hi Kendra! This is Heather from The Welcoming House Blog! I reposted this on my page, and had a reader ask what you meant by 3 cubes of butter for the scones. Does that mean 3 Tbs? 3 Oz? I would also like to make the recipe and that confused me as well!
Looks AMAZING, and since my oldest will be having a real tea party with some friends in a few weeks, I think this series is PERFECT timing!
Blessings to you!

LOL I wonder if that’s an eastern or western term, but our butter comes in cubes – which is 1/2 cup. 🙂 Sorry for the mix-up! I will go fix it right away. Thanks a bunch!
