We love the simplicity of these 3 constituent scones. As the name suggests, they only take 3 ingredients! However, they certainly do not skimp on taste. We like to serve these with fruit jam or puree. My husband very much enjoys using them for making breakfast sandwiches with sausage and cheese. The way you serve them, they are definitely worth the minimum time and effort they take to make. You just can not beat homemade scones!

🧾 Ingredients
- 3 cups puffed flour. Puffed flour already contains the baking powder and salt so no need to add them to this recipe. If you do not have puffed flour, you can substitute flour for any purpose but you will need to add 1 tablespoon of baking powder and a teaspoon of salt to it. Then stir to combine.
- ⅓ A cup of granulated sugar. You can reduce this amount to ¼ a cup if you do not want your scones to be very sweet.
- 1½ cup heavy cream. Heavy cream is the key to light, moist and soft scones.
📝 Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 F (218 C). Line a pan with baking paper.
Bake until lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.

💭 Top tips
- Store the heavy cream in the refrigerator until used. A very cold cream works best.
- If you do not want to mess with flattening the dough and using a biscuit cutter, you can simply shape it into a disc and cut it into 8 equal slices, as we did with these chocolate chips, apple and lime. .
