  1. Sift together the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and whisk until well combined.

  4. Add the wet ingredients to the bowl and gently fold until just combined.
  5. Shape the dough into a 7-inch circle and cut into 8 equal triangles.
  6. Freeze the shaped scones for 20 minutes to firm up.
  7. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) while the scones chill.
  8. Brush the top of the scones with cold heavy cream and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
  9. Bake the scones for 25–28 minutes until golden brown.
