How to Make Homemade Scones
- Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, sift together 450g (3 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour, 10g (2 tsp) baking powder, and 5g (1 tsp) salt.
- Add 60g (1/2 cup) granulated sugar and 115g (1 cup) cold, unsalted butter, cut into small cubes. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate jug, whisk together 150ml (2/3 cup) milk and 150ml (2/3 cup) water. Gradually add the liquid to the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a fork until a soft dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it down to a 2cm (3/4 inch) thickness.
- Use a 5cm (2-inch) round cookie cutter or a knife to cut out scones. Avoid twisting the cutter; use a sharp, clean cut.
- Brush the tops of the scones with any remaining milk and water mixture.
- Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
