Elaboració

Pas a pas

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and lightly flour a baking sheet.

    Uns 5 min

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.

    Uns 1 min

  3. 3

    Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients.

  4. 4

    Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.

    Uns 3 min

    Nota de cuina: Work quickly to prevent the butter from getting too warm.

  5. 5

    Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in most of the milk, reserving a small amount.

    Uns 1 min

  6. 6

    Mix with a knife or your hands until a soft, shaggy dough forms, adding more milk if needed to bring it together.

    Uns 2 min

    Nota de cuina: Do not overmix, as this can make the scones tough.

  7. 7

    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat or roll it to a thickness of about 2-3 cm (1 inch).

    Uns 2 min

  8. 8

    Using a 6cm (2.5 inch) round cutter, cut out scones and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

    Uns 3 min

    Nota de cuina: Press straight down with the cutter; twisting can prevent them from rising evenly.

  9. 9

    Brush the tops of the scones with the beaten egg.

    Uns 1 min

  10. 10

    Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and well-risen.
