Ingredients

Servings

• 1.5 cup Cornmeal
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 large Egg

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
2. Cut the butter into small pieces and add it to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick.
5. Cut the dough into 8 wedges and transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
7. Remove from the oven and let the scones cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.
