Directions
Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 375℉ (190℃).
Butter two 9 inch diameter cake pans.

Knead gently just until soft dough forms.
Divide dough into 2 pieces.

Using sharp knife, score top of each round into 8 wedges.
Whisk remaining egg with 1 teaspoon water in small bowl.
Brush mixture over scones. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoon sugar.
Bake scones until golden, about 30 minutes.

Invert scones onto platters. Turn right side up.
