Instructions

 

• Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl and cut it into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or fork. Continue until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and beaten egg.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times until it forms a smooth ball.
• Roll the dough out to about 3/4 inch thickness.
• Cut the dough into circles using a biscuit cutter or glass.
• Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with a little bit of milk or cream. If desired, sprinkle some coarse sugar on top.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
• Serve warm with butter, jam, and clotted cream.
