2 c Flour 3 ts Baking powder 2 tb Sugar 1/4 ts Salt 4 tb Butter 2 Eggs 1/3 c Heavy cream 2 ts Sugar.
Reserve about 1 Tbls. of white from one of the eggs. Beat the
remaining eggs together until combined. Mix together the flour
beaking powder sugar & salt. Cut in the butter with a fork, two
knives, or your fingers. [variations: I add some grated orange peel &
1/2 cup of dried cranberries, or some dried currants, or some dried
blueberries in which case I use part maple sugar, or chopped up dried
apricots at this point.] Stir the cream & eggs together, & add to the
dry ingredients; stir with a woooden spoon to make a stiff dough.
Knead lightly on a floured board, divide dough into halves, & roll
each half into a 6″ circle. Cut each circle into 4 wedges. Put wedges
on an ungreased cookie sheet, brush with the reserved egg white,
sprinkle with the 2 tsp. sugar, & bake at 400 for 15 minutes.
