Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the self-rising flour and heavy cream. Mix until a dough forms. If the dough seems too dry, add a little more cream, one tablespoon at a time, until it comes together.

Step 3

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times until smooth.

Step 4

Pat the dough into a round shape about 1 inch thick. Using a round cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out scones and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather any leftover dough, gently knead it together, and cut out more scones. You should get anywhere from 9 to 10 scones.

Step 5

Brush the tops of the scones with a little cream for a golden finish, if desired. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the scones are risen and golden brown.

Step 6

Transfer the scones to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
