Ingredients

• 1 cup milk
• 1 egg, beaten
• 5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 0.75 cup butter
• 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for kneading

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.

Step 2

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl; cut in butter with 2 knives or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Whisk milk and egg in a small bowl; gradually stir into flour mixture until moistened.

Step 3

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly, 5 or 6 turns. Pat or roll dough out into a 1/2-inch thick round. Cut into 8 wedge-shaped pieces and place onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake scones in the preheated oven until golden brown on top, about 15 minutes.
