Old Fashioned Cream Scones

Directions

Note: Reserve 1 Tablespoon egg white for brushing on top.

Preheat oven to 400℉ (200℃).

Combine flour, baking powder, 2 Tablespoons sugar and salt.

Cut in butter with your fingers, a fork or two knives.

Beat eggs slightly with cream, and stir into flour mixture.

Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead only until dough sticks together.

Divide in two parts. Rolls each part out into a circle that is 1 x 6 inch diameter.

Cut each circle into 4 wedges or cut into rounds with a 2-inch biscuit cutter, and put wedges on ungreased baking sheet.

Bake for 15 minutes.
