Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cut the butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times until it comes together.
  7. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick round and cut out scones using a round biscuit cutter.
  8. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Serve warm and enjoy!
