Directions

Preheat the oven to 180°C/356°F
In a mixing bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar
Rub in the butter to this mixture until it resembles breadcrumbs
In a separate bowl, mix the egg, milk and cream together. Add this 'egg mix' to your ‘breadcrumb’ mix and stir until combined
Once mixed, place this onto a clean surface & knead lightly.
Roll out to about 2” high
Cut out your scone shapes and place them on a baking dish lined with baking paper
Beat an egg and brush it over your scones
Add fruit, sugar or topping of your choice (the topping will stick to the egg wash)
Bake for 15-25 minutes
