Old Fashioned Cream Scones recipe

8 servings

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 tablespoon white sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup butter

2 eggs, beaten

1/3 cup heavy cream

1 egg white

2 teaspoons white sugar

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Grease a cookie sheet.

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.

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.

Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
