Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix flour, sugar, and 1 tsp salt in a large bowl.
Step 2
Rub cold butter into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture looks like coarse breadcrumbs, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Pour milk into the flour mixture and stir with a fork until a shaggy dough forms—do not overwork it.
Step 4
Turn dough onto a floured surface and gently pat into a 1-inch-thick round. Cut into 8 wedges or use a biscuit cutter for rounds.
Step 5
Arrange scones on a sheet pan and bake for 12–14 minutes until golden brown on top and a toothpick comes out clean.
Step 6
Serve warm scones topped with a spoonful of clotted cream and strawberry jam.
