Step 1
Mix flour, sugar, and baking powder in a bowl. Add cold butter and rub with fingertips until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs.
Step 2
Pour milk in and stir gently with a fork until a soft dough just comes together; do not overmix.
Step 3
Turn dough onto a floured surface and gently pat into a 3/4-inch-thick round. Cut into 8 wedges or use a 2-inch biscuit cutter.
Step 4
Place scones on a baking sheet and bake at 425°F until golden brown on top, 8–10 minutes.
Step 5
Cool 2 minutes. Serve warm with a dollop of clotted cream and a spoonful of jam on top.
