Here’s how to prepare “Filipino Breakfast Scones”

Ingredients:

2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsps. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
3 tbsps. sugar

1/3 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup all purpose cream
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 tsps. milk
1 tbsp. sugar

Directions:

Combine first five ingredients in a medium bowl; stir well. Cut in butter with pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Add all purpose cream and egg, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface, and knead lightly 4 to 5 times. Divide dough into six pieces. Gently knead until small dough forms a ball and is smooth. Pat dough into 2-1/2″ circle. Place on a greased baking sheet. Brush top with milk and sprinkle with one tablespoon sugar.

Bake at 400°F, to 14 to 16 minutes or until lightly browned. The outside of the scones will be firm and the middle soft. Serve the scones warm with strawberry jam, cream and butter.
