Preparation Steps

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Stir in the sugar.
• In a separate small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and the beaten egg.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 0.75-inch thick disc.
• Use a 2-inch round cutter to cut out scones. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and risen.
• Let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Serve with jam and clotted cream.
