Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

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 it resembles coarse crumbs.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times until it comes together.

Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick circle and cut out scones using a round biscuit cutter.
-
Place the scones onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let the scones cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.
