Today's recipe is from Williams and Sonoma. It is the perfect base. You can add any flavor, fruit, jam, etc to delight your taste buds.
We like lemon/almond flavoring. You can add the extract or grated lemon rind. The amount is entirely up to your taste. You can also add fruit such as raspberries or blueberries. Make sure to dry the fruit and gently fold into batter without over mixing. Bake as usual.

by Williams & Sonoma
2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup of sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
8 Tbs unsalted chilled butter, cut into small pieces
1 egg
1/2 cup heavy cream
Combine all dry ingredients and mix well. Add the butter and cut in using a pastry blender or two knives. Whisk egg and cream together and add to dry mixture. Use a fork to combine all ingredients. Turn out and knead together just until combined. Gently press into a circle approximately 8-10 inches in diameter. Cut into 8 equal pieces. No need to separate the pieces. Place onto a cookie sheet and bake in a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes or until lightly golden. Serve warm with your favorite jam/jelly/preserve.
