Quick and Easy Scones
Ingredients
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for kneading
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit, or the equivalent of 200 degrees Celsius on your oven's scale. Next, lightly coat a baking sheet with a thin layer of oil or cooking spray to prevent the scones from sticking.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine three main ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Use a pastry blender or two knives to mix these dry ingredients together until they resemble coarse, uneven crumbs.
3
In a separate small bowl, whisk together two liquids: milk and egg until well combined. Gradually add this wet mixture to the dry ingredients in your large bowl, stirring continuously until the dough comes together and has a moist consistency.
4
Turn the dough out onto a lightly dusted surface, such as a countertop or table covered with flour. Use your hands to knead the dough for 5-6 short turns, until it becomes smooth and pliable.
5
Roll or pat the dough out into a 1/2-inch thick circle. Cut this circular shape into eight wedge-shaped pieces using a knife or pastry cutter.
6
Place the scone wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each one to allow for even cooking.
7
Bake the scones in the preheated oven until they are golden brown on top, taking approximately 15 minutes to achieve this.
