Step 1
Mix flour, sugar, and baking powder in a bowl. Cut in cold butter until mixture looks like coarse breadcrumbs.
Step 2
Pour in milk and stir until a shaggy dough just comes together—do not overwork.
Step 3
Turn dough onto a floured surface and gently pat into a 1-inch-thick round. Cut into 8 wedges or use a biscuit cutter.
Step 4
Place scones on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 400°F for 12–15 minutes until golden brown on top.
Step 5
Cool for 2 minutes, then split each scone and fill with jam and whipped cream. Serve warm.
