2 c all purpose flour 3 T sugar 2 t baking powder 1/2 t salt
Add and stir well:
1/2 c dried fruit cut up the size of currants if desired
Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in...
1 1/3 c heavy cream
Stir until everything is moistened and a soft dough is formed. Scrape dough onto a lightly floured counter and knead a few times, shaping it into a fat log about 8" long. Cut into 2 pieces, shape each piece into a smooth disk about 1" thick. With sharp knife or bench scraper, cut each disk into four pieces.
Arrange the 8 scones on the baking sheet, leaving as much room as possible between them. Brush with milk. Sprinkle with fabulous, crunchy sugar....it has a name...I couldn't find it when I ran out, and have used large "grain" Raw Sugar since then.
Place in the oven and bake for 7 minutes.
Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake 15 minutes longer.
