Cream Tea Scones

Directions

1. 1
   Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
2. 2
   Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. 3
   In a small bowl, combine eggs, egg yolk and cream - beat with a fork until well blended.
4. 4
   Add the liquid mix all at once to the dry ingredients, stirring with a fork to make a soft, slightly sticky dough - add a little more cream if necessary.
5. 5
   Press into a ball and knead gently on a floured surface about 10 times.
6. 6
   Roll out dough to 1/2 inch thick and cut in to triangles or rounds.
7. 7
   Place on an ungreased baking sheet and brush with egg white then sprinkle lightly with sugar.
8. 8
   Bake in a pre-heated 425 degree oven for 12 - 15 minutes or until golden.
9. 9
   Now the very best part. Serve them warm with butter, raspberry or strawberry jam and to be really traditional you may also add a dollop of Devonshire cream. Whipping cream is a good substitute.
