How to Make Breakfast Scones

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 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 1/4 cup milk.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Add 2-4 tablespoons of cold milk or water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat to 1-inch thickness.
  8. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter or knife to cut out scones.
  9. Place scones onto the prepared baking sheet.
  10. Brush the tops of the scones with milk and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  11. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
