Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup raspberry jam (for serving)
- 0.25 cup softened butter (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
Step 3
Add the cold butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Reserve 1 tablespoon of this mixture for brushing the tops of the scones later.
Step 5
Pour the milk and egg mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it a few times to bring it together, then pat it into a ¾-inch thick rectangle.
Step 7
Using a biscuit or round cutter (approximately 2 to 3 inches in diameter), cut out scones. Re-roll the scraps as needed to cut out additional scones.
Step 8
Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Brush the tops lightly with the reserved milk-egg mixture.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the scones are golden and puffed.
Step 10
Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Step 11
Serve the scones warm with a generous spread of raspberry jam and softened butter. Enjoy!
