Scones

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. 2

   Beat egg and cream together and set aside (a two cup measuring cup works really well here). Set aside.

3. 3

   In large mixing bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together. Add the butter and rub it into the flour until you have a pebbly mixture.

4. 4

   Pour the egg and cream into the flour/butter mixture and stir to combine with a rubber spatula. When the mixture is totally incorporated, divide the dough into two equal sized balls. Pat them disks about an inch tall. Place them on a parchment or Silpat-lined baking sheet. Carefully cut each disk into six segments (I used a bench scraper) and separate them.

5. 5

   Bake the scones for 20-22 minutes, until the are nicely browned. Serve immediately. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
