Sift together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add cold butter, cut into small pieces, and blend until mixture resembles cornmeal. Mix together two lightly beaten eggs and cream. Mix with dried cranberries into flour mixture. Do not over mix- mix just until it forms dough. Pat out dough onto floured surface, about 3/4 thick, and cut with a 2 inch round cutter. Brush tops of scones with an egg wash of 1 egg lightly beaten with 1/3-cup milk. Sprinkle finishing sugar on top. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet at 450 degrees for about 15 minutes or until tops are lightly browned.

Note: If scaling recipe please adjust ingredient amounts in method.
