Preparation Steps
1
Prepare the ingredients: in a small bowl, combine the Bavarian mustard with the heavy cream and set aside.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
3
Dice the butter and add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingertips or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This helps to create light and tender scones.
4
Pour the mustard-cream mixture into the flour-butter base. In a small bowl, whisk the egg, then add it to all the ingredients and quickly knead the dough with swift motions until just combined.
5
Shape the dough into a circle about 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 inches (3-4 cm) thick, then cut it into 6-8 wedges on a lightly floured surface.
6
Place the dough wedges on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and brush them with the remaining heavy cream for a glossy finish.
7
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
8
Let the scones cool slightly, then serve them with fresh butter or a dollop of Bavarian mustard butter.
