Simple scones

Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour    
4 tsp baking powder    
3 tsp sugar        
½ tsp salt            
4 tbsp butter (melted)    
2 eggs (beaten, keeping aside some of the egg white)
⅓ cup cream        
Method:
Preheat oven to 375⁰ F. In a saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Set aside. Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Mix in the butter, eggs, and cream. Save a little bit of the egg white for brushing on the tops of scones. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead for about a minute. Pat and roll the dough until about ¾ inch thick.
Cut the dough into six 3*3 inch squares and place on a greased baking sheet. Brush the scone tops with egg white and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake for 15 minutes or until done. Scones can be eaten plain or topped with walnuts, cheeses, chocolate, or dried fruits such as raisins and cranberries.
