Yield 16 scones

Number Of Ingredients 7

2C sifted all-purpose flour
2T sugar
3t baking powder
1/2t salt
5T butter
1 egg, beaten
3/4 C milk

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 425°F 2. Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt 3. Chap in the cutter with a pastry cutter (or two knives) until the flour-coated pieces of butter are the size of coarse cornmeal. 4. Add the egg and about 3/4 of the milk. Stir quickly and lightly, only until no flour shows. Add more milk if needed to make a soft dough. 5. Turn the dough out on a floured surface and knead gently about 15 times. Cut the dough in half. Shape each half into a ball, press each down into a round about 1/2" thick and cut into 8 wedges like a pie. 6. Place the wedges on a greased cookie sheet without allowing the sides to touch. Glaze, if desired, with lightly beaten egg. 7. Bake until deep golden brown, about 12 minutes.
