English Tea Scones - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 1/2 c. sifted all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
pinch of salt
2 sticks cold, unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 c. heavy cream
1/4 c. light cream
1 egg

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0.
Mix dry ingredients.
Cut butter into the dry ingredients, using a pastry blender until the mixture has a consistency of coarse meal. Mix in heavy cream just until the dough holds together. Wrap in wax paper or plastic and chill about 30 minutes.
Roll the chilled dough into a circle 1/2-inch thick.
Use a cookie cutter to cut dough into 40 scones.
Combine 1 egg and 1/4 cup light cream and brush the tops of the scones. Bake until golden brown and puffy, about 13 to 15 minutes.
