INSTRUCTIONS
SCONES Preheat the oven to 425°. Lightly grease baking sheet and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Using a pastry blender cut the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse cornmeal. In a small bowl, combine the egg and cream and add to the flour mixture. Mix until just blended together. Turn out the batter onto a lightly floured board and knead for 1 minute. Roll dough into a rectangle approximately 4 x8². Brush the dough with the melted butter. Sprinkle with the sugar and orange zest. Roll up, jelly-roll fashion, and seal the long seam by pinching it together lightly with your fingers. Cut the roll into eight 1² thick slices. Lay slices down sideways on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until scones are golden. Slice the strawberries and place in a large pretty bowl with other whole berries, if available. Sprinkle with sugar and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours. Whip the heavey ream and stir in sugar to lightly sweeten. To serve, heap spoonfuls of berries over each scone and top with freshly whipped cream.
