How to Make Basic Scones
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the sugar.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick circle.
- Use a sharp knife or a biscuit cutter to cut the dough into 8 wedges.
- Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
