Hi Marc,
The first egg goes into the scones batter. The second egg is brushed over the tops to make them shiny after being baked.
They are listed separately so that you will notice :)

Not liking currants OR raisins, I chopped dried pineapple papaya and walnuts instead. They were FANTASTIC.

Wow such a simple and amazing recipe, I am a scone addict and this recipe includes ingredients that I always have on hand so its just a plus that they are delicious. PS: I like my scones a little sweet so I add a tad extra sugar.
