Old-fashioned Cream Scones

Jesus loved the enthusiast, the man who knew what side he was on and threw himself whole-heartedly into the struggle. He liked energetic action, as in the men who climbed the roof and broke a way through for their paralyzed friend, or in Zacchaeus who forgot his dignity and swarmed up a tree. He loved the generous giver. All four Gospels quote His saying, 'He who loves life loses it; he who spends keeps.' It sums up His attitude to life. He praised the man who banged on the door till he got an answer; He wanted men to show that kind of determination in the affairs of religion. He praised the widow who badgered the unjust judge into doing justice. He did not like playing for safety or burying one’s talent. It is the peace-makers rather than the peace-keepers whom He blesses. Goodness is a positive active loyalty (Hugh Martin).

INSTRUCTIONS

I often add dried cranberries and minced orange zest to the dry
ingredients before adding the eggs and cream.  Note: Reserve 1
Tablespoon egg white for brushing on top.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Combine flour, baking powder, 2 Tablespoons sugar and salt. Cut in
butter with your fingers, a fork or two knives. Beat eggs slightly
with cream, and stir into flour mixture. Turn out onto a lightly
floured surface and knead only until dough sticks together. Divide in
two parts. Rolls each part out into a circle that is 1" thick and 6"
in diameter. Cut each circle into 4 wedges, and put wedges on
ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes.  Recipe By     : From the
