Ingredients Needed
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for kneading
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 5 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup 170g unsalted butter, cold
- 1 cup 240ml whole milk
- 1 large egg, beaten
How To Make Baking With Scones
- Preheat the oven: Set oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the butter: Use a pastry cutter or two knives to mix in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add wet ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk milk and egg, then gradually stir into the flour mixture until just moistened.
- Shape the dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead 5-6 times. Pat or roll into a ½-inch thick round.
- Cut and place on a baking sheet: Cut into 8 wedges and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake for 15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
Recipe Tips
- Use very cold butter: This keeps the scones flaky and light.
- Don’t overwork the dough: Over-kneading makes scones dense.
- Try buttermilk instead of milk: It adds extra tenderness and flavor.
- Brush with milk or egg wash: This gives a golden, shiny crust.
- Customize the flavor: Mix in chocolate chips, dried fruit, or citrus zest.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers
- Refrigerate: Store leftover baking with scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Wrap leftover baking with scones tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
- Reheating: Warm leftover baking with scones in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes or microwave for 20 seconds.
