Preparation Steps

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the cold heavy cream. Stir with a fork until just combined. The dough will be shaggy.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently bring it together. Pat it into a circle about 3/4-inch thick.
• Cut the dough into 8 wedges using a sharp knife or bench scraper.
• Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet.
• Brush the tops of the scones with the beaten egg wash.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
• Let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, jam, or clotted cream.
