I love to bake and I made scones last week. They were very good and my family enjoyed eating them. I hope you will enjoy them too. I didn't take pictures of the scones after I made them. I forgot, but next time I will take pictures of my next baking project.

2 tablespoons baking powder
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup butter
1/2 cup sultanas ( white raisins) or currants

1/2 cup milk
1 egg(for glaze)


Devonshire Cream:

1/2 cup whipping cream (or dream whip)

Roll out dough 3/4-inch thick; cut rounds with a 2 1/2-inch cookie cutter. Brush rounds with beaten eggs; place on greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 400 degrees, then 350 degrees for 5 more minutes. When ready to serve, cut in half and serve with Devonshire cream and your favorite jam or jelly.
