I have a weak point for scone and biscuit, I love both eating them and making them. The different between them is not much, usually the scone is sweeter, some of them use egg as the ingredient or adding dried fruit. The basic ingredients are the same, flour, baking powder and some fat. Last time that I met my friend, she took me to a scone shop and I started to wonder about the recipe, the scone in that shop is very rich and sweet, I want to create it at home. But the point is the richness of the fat will weight the dough down, for this problem I solve by using the egg so it will puff the scone up while baking. It turn out that the first batch of testing is still too dry for me, so I add more sugar and cream and Voila here comes my scone ^^. It's hard to make scone with a lot moisture, you will be lured to add more flour to prevent sticking, but please not, it's my intention to keep it moist so you will get rich scone not a dry one. Scone and biscuit usually baked in hot oven, 200°C. up, high temperature makes the dough puff up because the fat melt, water turn into steam both of them leaven while the flour set quickly and you get high rise scone. But high temperature can make the bottom of the scone and biscuit burn too, if you can find there is a pan that made for scone baking, its metal is not good conductor of heat, because of that the bottom of the scone will be golden brown and the shape of the scone will be better. But if you can't find it, line the pan with silicone baking mat can help too. I really recommend you to dip the cutter into the flour before cutting because it will prevent the cutter to stick to the dough. Update: How to video Real rich scones Makes 7-8 scones 250g .......................... Cake flour 1tbsp .......................... Baking powder 45g .............................

Put the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into a bowl, whisk to combine. Use your finger to mix the butter into the flour mixture until fully mix, the mixture will look like small bread crumbs. Whisk the egg and whipping cream together and pour into the bowl. Mix until some part of the mixture moisten, pour onto the work surface, press and fold the dough until smooth, note that this dough is high in moisture. (If you want higher scone follow the trick here.) Cut with 5.5 cm round cookie cutter (rub the cutter with butter and dip it in the flour before cutting). Place on the pan, brush with whipping cream.
