-
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
-
Cut the cold butter into small pieces and add it to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the cold buttermilk. 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 1-inch thick circle and cut out scones using a round biscuit cutter.
-
Place the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven and let the scones cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.
