How to Make Swedish Scones

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, gently combine all dry ingredients: flour, sugar, 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 milk until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat into a 1-inch thick circle.
Use a 3-inch cookie cutter or a knife to cut the dough into 8 scones.
Place the scones onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving with your favorite toppings like cheese, cucumber, and homemade jam.
