Recipe - Strawberries And Cream Poppy Seed Scones

One half cup Cream
One half cup Sour cream
1 cup Allpurpose flour
2 tablespoon Brown sugar
2 teaspoon Poppy seeds
1 teaspoon Baking powder
One fourth teaspoon Baking soda
One fourth teaspoon Salt
3 tablespoon Margarine
1/3 cup Sour cream
1 Egg; separated
Coarse sugar
2 tablespoon Orange marmalade
2 Caps strawberries;
cut or sliced up
1 tablespoon Orange juice

In a small bowl stir together whipping cream and the sour cream. Cover; let
stand for 4 hours at room temperature to thicken. Chill till serving time.

Stir together flour, brown sugar, poppyseed, baking powder, baking soda,
and salt. Cut in margarine or butter till mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Combine the 1/3 cup sour cream and egg yolk; add to dry mixture. Stir just
till moistened.

On a lightly floured surface knead dough gently for 10 to 12 strokes. On an
ungreased baking sheet, pat or roll dough into a 6inch circle (One half inch
thick). Cut dough into six wedges. Do not separate wedges. Brush tops with
slightly beaten egg white. Sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake in a
425[degrees] oven for 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from pan. Cool 5 minutes.
Break scones apart.

To serve, stir marmalade into cream mixture. (If necessary, stir in about 1
tablespoon milk to thin to desired consistency.) Toss berries with liqueur
or juice. Cut scones in half; place bottoms on six dessert plates. Divide
berries among each serving. Top with cream mixture and scone tops. Makes 6
servings.
