Old Fashioned Cream Scones Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup butter
- 2 eggs, beaten
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- 1 egg white
- 2 teaspoons white sugar
Directions
step 1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet.
step 2: In a large bowl, stir together the all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, 2 tablespoons sugar and salt. Using a pastry blender or fork, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles fine bread crumbs. Stir in eggs and cream to make a firm dough. Turn mixture onto a lightly floured surface and briefly knead until dough sticks together.
step 3: Divide the dough into 8 or 10 pieces, and round out the edges. Place onto the prepared cookie sheet, brush with egg white and sprinkle with remaining sugar.
step 4: Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
