Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter -- cold, cut into small pieces
1 large egg
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon heavy cream
Heat oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and
salt. Add the butter and, using a pastry blender or two knives, cut
it in until the mixture forms small crumbs. Make a well in the center
of the mixture.
In a bowl, whisk together the egg and 1/2 cup heavy cream. Add to the
flour mixture and, using a fork, gently stir until incorporated (do
not overmix). Bring the dough together.
On a lightly floured surface, shape the dough into an 8-inch round
(about 1" thick), cut into wedges and place on the prepared baking
sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining 1 tablespoon cream and bake
until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes.
