Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
4 Tbsp butter
2 eggs, well beaten
1/2 c cream

Steps:

  • 2. Cut the butter in with a pastry cutter or two knives until it resembles coarse meal.
  • 3. Add the eggs and cream and stir until blended. Turn out onto a floured board and knead for about a minute. Roll about 1/4 inch thick and cut with a biscuit cutter into circles, OR you can form it into a round circle and cut into wedges. Put on cookie sheet and bake 15 minute until very lightly golden brown. Serve warm with the faux clotted cream recipe I've put on this site or with lemon curd.
