Baking Tip: Shiny Happy Scones

Brush the tops of the scones with egg wash prior to baking.

Whisk together one egg with a small amount of water and with a pastry brush coat the top of the uncooked scone with the egg wash.

Sprinkle with course sugar and bake. You can also brush the tops of the pre-baked scones with heavy cream for a shiny light brown finish.

Sugar in the Raw

will give the scones a nice sweet touch, and a beautiful look. You can also use granulated white sugar too.

Scones are traditionally served warm, split open and topped with butter or jam or Devonshire cream and lemon curd.

Devonshire cream, also known as clotted cream, can be a bit tricky to find, and in this article we have a recipe to make your own version of Devonshire cream.
