Cream Scones

I USED to not be a big fan of scones, but after the description Smitten Kitchen gave, it was hard to resist these. So what was it about these that made them oh-so-delicious? The heavy cream. What have I been missing out on all of these years?!?!

These are the best scones I've ever eaten. Period.
