How to Make Scones Tea Biscuits Canadian Living

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gradually pour in the buttermilk, stirring gently with a fork just until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Do not overmix.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead 10 times to bring the dough together. Add a little more flour if needed to prevent sticking.
  6. Pat or roll the dough to a 1/2-inch thickness.
  7. Use a 2-inch cookie cutter to cut out scones. Place them close together on the prepared baking sheet. Reroll scraps once to maximize scones, but be mindful that multiple rerolling toughens the final product.
  8. Brush the tops of the scones with the beaten egg.
  9. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
  10. Let the scones cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
