Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 6 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 75 grams butter
- 1 cup milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
Cut the butter into small cubes and rub it into the dry ingredients with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Step 4
Make a well in the center of the mixture and add the milk gradually. Mix with a knife to form a soft dough. Do not overmix.
Step 5
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 2–3 times to bring it together. Pat the dough out to about 2 cm (0.8 inches) thickness.
Step 6
Use a floured round cookie cutter or a small glass to cut out scones from the dough. Place them on the prepared baking tray, spacing them slightly apart.
Step 7
Brush the tops of the scones with a little milk for a golden finish.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the scones are well-risen and golden brown.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm with butter, jam, or whipped cream.
