Lemony Hibiscus Scones

Directions

1. Whisk together the dry ingredients in the large bowl; flour through to the salt.Slowly add in the wet ingredients to the dry and stir together with a strong wooden spoon or if you're like me, your hands. You may not need all the cream so start with less and add enough to get the dough cohesive and there isn't any flour remaining in the bottom of the bowl. Fold in the dried hibiscus.

5. Remove the dough from the fridge and cut into wedges. Place onto prepared baking sheet in closer proximity than you would for cookies- about an inch- and forming a circle. Brush with any remaining cream, and sprinkle with sparkling sugar if you like.
6. Bake for about 15 minutes until lightly brown and barely cooked through. Remove and let cool on the pan for a few minutes before moving to a cooling rack.
