Scones

 2 c sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 TBS baking powder
5 TBS sugar
5 TBS butter
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 c heavy whipping cream
Optional ingredient - 3/4 c dried cranberries, cherries or raisins
2 TBS sugar mixed with cinnamon or nutmeg
2 TBS cream

Combine flour, salt, baking powder and sugar in a large bowl.  Cut in butter with a pastry blender (or fork) until it resembles small pebbles.  Stir in optional ingredient.  Mix in egg and 1/2 c cream.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface and knead lightly.  Pat into a 9 inch circle and to a 1/2 inch thickness.  Cut circles with a cookie cutter.  Place on baking sheet.  Brush tops with remaining 2 TBS cream and sprinkle with remaining 2 TBS sugar mixture.

Bake 15 minutes, or until light brown.

Note from Jeannine:  I use cranberries or cherries
