These scones are the perfect summer-into-fall bake, as the sweet and tart summer plums pair with the warm maple flavor and hint of nutmeg. I love cream scones for their ease and texture—there’s need to cube and chill butter and work it into the dry ingredients, and the texture is ultra tender on the inside and crunchy on the outside due to the high baking temperature and generous sprinkling of sugar right before baking.
