Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425. Stir together first four ingredients in a large bowl or food processor. Cut butter into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or by pulsing on food processor, until the mixture is crumbly and resembles small peas. Stir in any add ins (see variations below) and then add 3/4 cream, stirring until just until dry ingredients are moistened. Turn dough onto baking mat (or marble slab or wax paper) , gently press or pat dough into a 7 inch round (mixture will be very crumbly) Cover with saran wrap and allow to sit for 15-30 minutes then cut round into 8 wedges. Place wedges about 2 inches a part on a parchment or silicone lined baking sheet (or lightly grease first). Brush tops with egg wash. Bake at 425 for 10-13 minutes until golden brown.
