Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 220°C.
-
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Cut the butter into small pieces and add it to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times to bring it together. Pat the dough into a circle about 2cm thick.
-
Use a round cutter to cut out scones from the dough. Place the scones onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven and let the scones cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.
