THE BEST ENGLISH SCONE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Add butter and rub in with your fingers until mixture resembles coarse oatmeal. Reserve a small amount of the lightly beaten egg (1 to 2 tbsp) and set aside. Add cream to the remaining eggs and whisk to combine. Add the liquid to the flour mixture slowly, stirring to form a soft dough. When all the liquid has been added, stir rather vigorously until the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floored counter and pat into a round about 3/4 inches thick. Cut into rounds with a 3 inch cutter. Gather up the dough and continue to cut rounds until all the dough is used up. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet, brush lightly with reserved egg, sprinkle with sugar and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden.
