Servings: 10 scones
Calories: 147kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cup plain flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 4 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 tbsp butter cold
- ⅔ cup milk
- 1 egg yolk plus 1 tbsp milk to glaze
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425F. Grease a large baking tray and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Whisk together.
- Cut in the butter in cubes. Using your fingers, combine it into the flour mixture. It will be crumbly.
- Slowly start pouring in the milk, mixing as you add it in. You just need the dough to come together and it will be quite sticky.
- Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and lightly dust the top of the dough with flour.
- Lightly knead the dough about 2 to 3 times. Gently press or roll the dough out to 1inch thick.
- Using a floured 2 inch cookie cutter, cut the dough into 10 circles.
- Place the dough circles on your baking tray.
- Whisk together the egg with milk and brush the tops of the scones.
- Bake between 12 - 15 minutes or until puffed up and golden.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool. Can be served straight away and will keep up to two days in an airtight container.
