Classic Fair Scones
Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons shortening
  • 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the high heat setting of 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius).
2
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing container. Use a fork or pastry knife to break down the shortening into tiny pieces, achieving a crumbly texture.
3
Add milk and gently blend until just combined.
4
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface, then knead it thoroughly until everything is fully incorporated.
5
Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each one into a round, approximately 3/4 of an inch thick.
6
Cut each round into four equal pieces and arrange them on a baking sheet.
7
Place the prepared rounds in the preheated oven and bake until they turn golden brown, taking around 15 minutes.
