• 2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions



1. Combine first 4 ingredients. Cut butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender until crumbly.
   
   
2. Whisk together cream, egg and vanilla; add to flour mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat dough to 1/2-inch thickness; cut with a 2-1/2-inch round cutter, and place on baking sheets.
   
   
3. Whisk together egg white and 1 teaspoon water; brush egg wash over scones. Sprinkle scones with additional sugar. Bake at 425º F for 13 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
