Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Cut cold butter into small cubes and toss into the flour mixture. Rub with fingertips until it looks like breadcrumbs.

  3. Step 3

    Pour milk into a small bowl. Add milk to flour mixture and fold gently with a spatula until just combined; don't overmix.

  4. Step 4

    Turn dough onto a floured surface. Pat into a disk about 1 inch thick. Cut into 4 wedges or 8 smaller pieces with a sharp knife.

  5. Step 5

    Place scones on a sheet pan. Bake for 12–14 minutes until golden brown on top and a light tap sounds hollow.

  6. Step 6

    Cool for 2 minutes on the pan. Serve warm with jam and whipped cream on the side.
