Mimi'S Valentine Raspberry Scones

• 4 cups flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup butter (chilled and cut in pieces)
• 1 1/4 cups cream
• 2 eggs (lightly beaten)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 6 tablespoons raspberry jam
• red sugar crystals

1. In a large bowl combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. With a pastry blender cut in butter till mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. In a small bowl combine the cream, beaten egg, and vanilla; mix well.
4. Add this to the flour mixture and stir till just combined; do not overmix.
5. Turn onto a lightly floured board and knead about 5-6 times.
6. Roll out to about 1/2" thickness and cut with a 4" heart-sharped cookie cutter; lightly press trimmings together and reroll to cut more scones--you should have 12.
7. Place 6 hearts on a greased baking sheet (the rerolled ones are best for the bottom).
8. Top each one with 1 tablespoon of jam; moisten edge of dough with water from your finger and place a second heart on top.
9. Press along edges to seal.
10. Sprinkle tops lightly with granulated sugar and then with the red sugar crystals.
11. Bake 400 degree oven for 15-18 minutes; don't let them get too brown.
12. Serve in a basket with a pretty napkin.
