This is the best scones recipe I've seen; it's from the Sunset Cookbook of
Breads.

Reserve about 1 tablespoon of white from one of the eggs. Beat the
remaining eggs together until combined. Mix together the flour beaking
powder sugar and salt. Cut in the butter with a fork, two knives, or your
fingers. [variations: I add some grated orange peel and 1/2 cup of dried
cranberries, or some dried currants, or some dried blueberries in which
case I use part maple sugar, or chopped up dried apricots at this point.]
Stir the cream and eggs together, and add to the dry ingredients; stir with
a woooden spoon to make a stiff dough. Knead lightly on a floured board,
divide dough into halves, and roll each half into a 6" circle. Cut each
circle into 4 wedges. Put wedges on an ungreased cookie sheet, brush with
the reserved egg white, sprinkle with the 2 teaspoons sugar, and bake at
400 degrees for 15 minutes.
