Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 60 grams unsalted butter
- 180 milliliters milk
- 1 egg (optional, for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 225°C (435°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually pour in the milk, stirring gently with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently for about 30 seconds until it comes together. Avoid overworking the dough.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a small round and place them on the prepared baking tray, leaving some space between each scone.
For a golden finish, beat the egg and brush it lightly over the tops of the scones (optional).
Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are puffed and lightly golden on top.
Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favorite toppings.
