Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Scones
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cream and egg until just combined. Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead gently. Roll out to 1-inch thickness and cut into rounds. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden.

Prepare the Preserves and Spreads
