3 c. self-rising flour, sifted
1/2 c. butter, melted
1/3 c. sugar
milk
2 eggs
1 tsp. baking powder
Preheat oven to 400°F degrees.
Cut butter into the flour using your fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in sugar, baking powder, and beaten eggs
Add enough milk to form a sticky dough, turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead approximately 10 turns. Do not over-knead, as this will make the scones tough.
Flatten to a circular shape, about 1 1/2" in thickness and cut wedge shaped pieces. Arrange pieces 1 inch apart in a circle on a lightly greased pan. Brush tops with cream or beaten egg white and bake about 15 minutes or until golden.
