1. In a big bowl mix flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. If using vanilla bean add it now. 2. Add the butter and rub it in using two knives, a pastry blender or your finger tips. When the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, stop. 3. Add the beaten egg and enough cream to make a soft but not sticky dough. 4. Turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead lightly (not more than 8 times). 5. Pat down and cut out scones using a cookie cutter or a glass (I use a glass of 7.5 cm in diameter). 6. Place on a paper-lined baking sheet and brush with some cream if you like. 7. Bake in the pre-heated oven at 220°C/425°C for 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
