How to Make Awesome English Tea Scones

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
3. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 1/2 cup milk.
5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix. The dough will be slightly sticky.
6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 3/4-inch thick circle.
7. Use a 2-inch cookie cutter or a sharp knife to cut out scones. Reroll scraps gently to make more scones.
8. Transfer scones to the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
10. Let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm with your favorite jam and cream.
