Honey Rosemary Scones

The most delicious scones ever. NOT PALEO!!!  This recipe is adapted from the America's Test Kitchen scone recipe.

The Ingredients:
8 Tbsp Butter
2 cups Flour
1/2 cup Sugar
2 tsp Baking Powder
1/4 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Salt
1 Tbsp Dried Rosemary
1 cup Heavy Cream
2+ Tbsp Honey

The Process:
 Cut the butter into small cubes and place in the freezer to get it very cold. (The colder the butter the flakier the scone.)
Preheat the oven to 425.
In a food processor combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and rosemary. Pulse to combine. Add the butter, pulse until combined, it will be lumpy.
In a large mixing bowl combine the flour mixture and cream. Stir just to combine. Empty the dough onto a floured surface (including all the little bits) and knead briefly (10 folds or so, you don't want the butter in the dough to get warm).
Place the dough in a floured pie pan and spread it evenly. Turn the pie pan upside down on your floured counter to remove the dough. Cut it into 8 triangles. You can also cut it into 16 triangles, your baking time will be reduced.
Place the triangles on a baking sheet. Bake for 15min until just starting to brown. Let the scones cool and then brush the tops with melted honey.
So tasty.
