Scones

Patty Macko shared this with me many years ago. Decadent and such a treat.

1/2 lb butter, softened
6 cups flour
1 cup sugar
3 tbs baking powder
6 eggs
1/2 cup half & half - add a little water if dry
2 c. fruit (prunes, apricots, blueberries, raisins)

Combine all ingredients in large mixer bowl. Cut into 2 sections. Pat until 3/4" thick. Cut into wedges. Brush with egg. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake on cookie sheet (parchment paper) at 400 degrees for 15 - 20 minutes.

(from another recipe) place the separated wedges on parchment lined sheet.  Brush with cream, and sprinkle with Turbinado sugar (substitute with light brown sugar.)
