do you say scahns or scowns?

eight golden brown scones cooling 
on a rack  

CLASSIC SCONES
8 to 12 scones
Increase the sugar up to 1/4 cup for a sweeter scone.
Preheat the oven to 450°F.
Sift together into a large bowl:
1¾ cups all-purpose flour
2¼ teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
½ teaspoon salt
Cut in, using a pastry blender or 2 knives, until the size of small peas:
¼ cup (½ stick) cold butter
Beat in a small bowl:
2 large eggs
Reserve 2 tablespoons of the beaten eggs. Beat in to the reminder:
⅓ cup heavy cream
Make a well in the dry ingredients. Pour in the liquid and combine with a few swift strokes. Handle the dough as little as possible. Turn it out onto a lightly floured board. Pat to ¾ inch thick. To make the classic wedge shape, pat into an 8-inch round and then cut into 8 to 12 wedges or cut into diamond shapes or as for Biscuit Sticks, above. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush with the reserved egg and sprinkle with:
Salt or sugar
* Bake until golden, about 15 minutes.
