- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.

- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
- While the scones are cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk to make a glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled scones.
- Serve and enjoy!
