Ingredients
- 4 cups self-raising flour, sifted
- 1 cup (250 ml) cream

Preheat the oven to 180 ˚C. Grease a baking tray with butter.

Lightly flour a clean flat surface and press the dough out to form a rectangle.
- Using a 2.5 cm cutter, cut out rounds and place them onto the greased baking tray.

Brush the tops with the beaten egg, and bake the scones for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
